    Mobile 1. I've used it for years with good results. When we used it on the race engines, they still looked fantastic during tear down.

    So only 2 people have spelled it wrong? Not much to pick on. And at least are two words, so there's five for me I guess. And u didn’t capitalize I'd. Five again, so now you have nothing. Good job.


    I use royal purple, ‘cuz I get it cheap. Its damn good stuff though, when I switch over from Mobil 1, I noticed a difference, the oil stayed cleaner after always being changed at the same intervals, also held up better.

    Psh, oil?? who needs that ****?

    My motor hasnt seen oil in 4 months, still sitting in my living room under the coffee table, just as happy as can be.

    Now on the Eclipse and Chebby Waggin I use Mobil 1 Synthetic. Cause I can typically get it from a buddys shop for $5. Cant beat that
