Best Oil?
#19
According to the feedback from Motul technical department, 300V,the racing oil, is designed to achieve ultimate performance rather than provides better protection and longer maintainence intervals. They suggest to use 8100 for daily drive or do oil change every 3000 kilometers if run with 300V. That is why I am running with 8100 now,only put 300V in my engine for hard driving during the summer.

anyways the reason is regular oil will allow the rings,cams etc to set properly... mobile 1 and other low friction oils will not allow the rings to seat quickly or even at all.

Amsoil is REALLY a great oil, however, it's more expensive and harder to find. I have a local dealer who sells it for $7.50 a QT. I change my oil every 3k miles, regardless of what oil I use; sometimes every 2k if I don't drive much. That said, I should probably just use a good DINO like Castrol, especially since my car is a lease. However, I've always used synthetic and have a hard time switching back. Thus, the last oil change I went back to Mobil-1 cause it's cheaper, available at a closer retailer. Honestly, w/ 3k intervals it's just not worth the premium of Amsoil, and I know I shouldn't even buy the synthetic. I really don't even work the car.

Check the oil analyses I've done on my VQ over the last 2 1/2 years..

The best oil is the one that works for you and your driving style.
I've used Mobil 1 synthetic for a long time and was not very pleased with the analysis results. Got better results with Pennzoil conventional. Did a run of Mobil Clean 5000 and was not impressed. I'm trying out Mobil Clean 7500 right now, it's supposed to be a synthetic blend.
Iron and lead wear are issues for me. It's been recommended that I use an additive such as Lube Control to improve lubrication and protection. Although I am certain it will help, I do not want the results my scientific study (actually hobby) to be skewed by an additive. I want the oils to "speak for themselves.
I've not yet determined for the best oil for me.
