Gees, I just wanted to know which oil is the best, I believe I have the solution, 2 quarts or Mobil 1, 2 quarts of AMSoil and 2 quarts of Royal Purple. Now, do I need a zinc additive?

Mobil 1 LS 75w-90 is what you want. It already has the friction modifier in it. |

I would love to see the used oil analysis after 4k miles using that mix of oils. |

I don't put many miles on in a year so a yearly change is what I do. I tried to educate myself researching and go with what is a good choice for me. I ended up buying rp in 5w30 which is superior to the mobile 1. Here is something I read that put me at ease on the phos/zinc additive:

Track pack use also recommends 5w-50 for 2013+. This is a peculiarity with the Ford engine design IMO. For us, I think its whether to use a synthetic 5w-30 (some viscosity improvers) or 10w-30 (often no viscosity improvers). I use Mobil 1 turbo diesel truck in our 2004 Land Rover V-8, which has a flat tappet cam and specs a 40 weight. Best oil around IMO if looking for a 40 weight. |

To me the best synthetic oil to use is which ever fits your pocket book. Mobil 1 has made me very happy for years and my Impala SS and Camaro will see nothing other unless my dealership changes there stock.

From what I understand Mobil 1 and Castrol synthetics are molecule cracked (hydro cracked) to create a synthetic base stock instead of the so called RP that uses a chemical based stock which is considered more expensive.
Since the powers to be told Castrol it was OK to call it a synthetic Mobil 1 followed. Is it or isn't it a real synthetic? That up to you. To me Mobil 1 is fine for all my Chevy's including my newly bought Camaro. I'm not gonna miss any sleep wondering which is the finest synthetic. It's all based on getting the best product for what I can afford. Mail Clerk |

I only have about 300 miles on my Mobile1,the only reason im going to change it is because my oil temp was almost pegged at 300 degrees at my track day last weekend.So two questions,like a stupid ass, i didn't notice til i got home that i got the high mileage(cars over 75,000)oil,is it ok to use or should i take it back? #2 since there is only 300 miles on the filter too,should i change it as well? I always change both,since there isn't any miles on it thats why i was wondering.
As well,i did a rear end oil search and it sent me back here,so question #3 i want to run synthetic in my rear end,i plan on tracking at least 3 times per year,what kind, and viscosity do i want to run?
