I think it all depends on your budget and needs.

If you don't have a super car, why use the super best? just my $0.02.

Not withstanding, I would give the Amsoil a try :twisted:

Yea I get it at Rookes Oilfield Services. It costs me $40 p/quart (after my discount), I'm not sure what the normal retail is. I think it's 50 something.

ways, man reach on the water, i was only on land :lol:

sponsorship entails alot of different things, cash, products, etc so what u have stickered not necessarily means u using what is being advertised

I drive a mitsu galant 4g93. 1999 model going in 3+ years.
during that time i used oils as follows:shell helix.shell helix syntec blend,shell helix syntec, mobil 1 and i am now using CASTROL SYNTEC.
My car is 95% more quiet. so you know what oil i would be using now.

Now dave i did not disagree with your opinion.
You could have ment two things by your quote:
wait nah, allyuh comparing amsoil to castrol, ROFLMAO :lol:

[/quote]

1. comparing a low grade amsoil to high grade castrol.
2.comparing a low grade castrol to high grade amsoil.
I am not saying that these oils are high or low grades.

No hard feelings man :drinking:

some people have good experience with one brand of oil and other have had bad.... so it juss comes down to the age of the engine and your preference!

Alpha_2nr · Postby **Alpha_2nr** » October 4th, 2006, 8:51 am

Something to think about.....

Most of the "additives" that are put into Synth oils today, come from one of only 4 manufacturers in the world. So the oils are alot more similar than you think.

what do you 4G63 guys suggest?

I've used the castrol as well.

cacasplat3 · Postby **cacasplat3** » November 8th, 2006, 5:01 pm

switched to mobil 1 10W30 this weekend. the car runs a lot more quieter, than when it was on the castrol gtx. i would be sticking to the mobil1 cuz its manufacturer recommended :idea:

i dig this thread up from the grave, and was wondering how much for the amsoil now and if you have to drain the oil i order to change the filter? if the oil has to be drained would'nt that contaminate it, at least in the average service shop?

dmitc wrote:...simply park on an incline for a couple of hours, the oil from the filter will drain back into the sump and all you have to do then is simply replace the filter, at most a few drops of oil would spill out unless the filter at the bottom of the engine as oppose to the side like on mines.

switched from castrol to mobile 1 4000k ago and no difference is noted by me in the sound or perfornmance of the engine one thing i did notice is that i had to add a half a quart weekend gone to bring it up to level.
going to run it for 4000k more and then going back to castrol.
