Joe Gibbs Racing oil! XP-1. HP in a bottle! Just a tad pricy though.....

GoldCartridgeGamer · 09-25-2012, 10:52 PM

Oil change from dealer every 4k miles at first (I had 4 free oil changes), but now Mobil 1 Synthetic every 5000-7500 miles. I use AC Delco filters.

I said, Valvoline . He grinned and I asked what kind of oil he used? Valvoline was his reply !
I special ordered this SWB truck in 96(with full bench seat)and took it to the drag strip to see what it would do a couple months ago and it ran mid 14's, with over 250,000 miles on it with just bolt ons and tune! Had a little trouble getting traction even with a 373 posi! IMO, part of the reason this truck still runs as good as it does is because of VALVOLINE

So Mobile 1 looks like the winner. Is this the Mobil 1 oil everyone uses?

I would not pay $10.00 a quart for extended performance.

Wally World has 5 quart jugs of regular Mobil 1 for about $30.00

TocaSeries · 10-08-2012, 05:13 PM

So is this the one?

Then I got some free Quaker state ultimate durability from a friend. So I put it in and the engine was silent not a tap or tick at all the quietest it has ever ran. Then when I bought my ls3 from day one I heard the same top end noise. You guys all know what I am talking about. Put in Quaker state at 1000 miles and it too is also silent now. Mobile 1 is just too noisey for my likeing.

I ran Mobile 1 for my second change from 800-2000 miles. Heard the same top end lifter tick. Switched to Amsoil and all is quiet.

..interesting, good to know

Pennzoil says Synthetic blend where Mobil 1 says Full Synthetic...
