best brand of motor oil?

JB Dizzle · 12-24-2005

hey does anyone have an idea of the best motor oil out there? i usually use castrol syntec and notice that penzoil costs the same and quakerstate is a lil bit cheaper... does it really matter what brand i use?

there is no best oil. Synthetic is better than dino.

the old addage applies to this econobox.....put it in take it out......long as you change it you could run recycled/remanufactured oil in the car as long as you change it at a decent interval....

Just changed to mobil 1 today.

I use mobile also, but go with a generic brand at the 99 cent store if you want too.

Same here, Motul 8100. Total overkill, isn't it? Ha ha.

don't use anything less. dino oils suck at high rpms. i used castrol syntec for a few oil changes, but after some WOT on highway 280 and a few speeding tickets later that oil was fukin black. fuk that i'm not using dino or 1/2 dino period. synthetic doesn't break down at standard temps, it has much higher resistance to breakdown compared to dino oils like castrol bullshittec
