Synthetic Oil, your thoughts
#16
OK, yes and I've read most of them. If you read the post the topic was asking for peoples opinions. I thought FRAM was made by Purolator?

also look at the number of samples taken per said oil manufacturer.. Notice some have a lot more samples than the others, which statistically would vary the results by a large margin. That chart also doesnt tell you what the oil was used for or where it came from. Use a decent oil and change it regularly.

this again??
you can use whatever oil/filter combo you want and you will be fine, just be sure to change it.
My dad bought a 1992 chevy truck in 1992 and only used the oil and filter that was on sale. Usually $6.99 for a filter and oil. I dont think the guy paid more than $12 for a filter and oil....
truck still runs fine. No leaks, no engine problems, no shop time becasue of engine/oil problems.
the guy still has the truck and has no problems..

I seriously doubt if it really matters what kind of synthetic oil you use as long as it's changed frequently. I used Mobil 1 for 125K mile with my last Z so that's what I began with SLICK at 1K miles. Have read good reviews about Red Line I tried that for a while but at $11 a quart + $10 for filter I questioned it's worth. Having read the chart on page 1 I ordered a case of AMSOIL 10W/30 ATM which looks really good on paper and I'll continue using K&N filters. We'll see how she like the AMSOIL....
