I've tried Mobil 1, Castrol Edge, and Royal Purple. So far I like the results with Royal Purple the best.

and yes it did seem to wake up the motor a little after dropping the break in oil.

Is that full synthetic 5W30?? I'm going in for my first one this weekend. What do they come from the factory with?

Once I get some more miles on this second oil change which I'm using AMSOIL OE 5w-30 right now, I'm moving up to AMSOIL Signature Series 5w-30.

I honestly have never felt a difference in the feel of the car with different types of oil.

SPCBA · 02-25-2013, 05:41 PM

litle88 · 02-25-2013, 05:44 PM

Ive noticed my truck gets better mileage if its got a fresh coat of wax. Something to do with lower coefficient of drag, lol.

Ive been using Mobil 1 since ive owned the car and have no complaints but after reading about how they changed thier formula a few years ago ive been thinking about switching to Valvoline racing synthetic.
