Synthetic, for me???

[set240sx]

I use mobil 1 in everything i own partly because my wife makes it and because synthetics have proven to be better.IMO

You see more oil leaks when switching to it in a higher milage engine because it cleans better therefore loosening thegunk left by the conventional oil sealing the cracks. same reason for it becomeing dark colored quicker its cleaning not just covering up.

Do not start using a synthetic in a higher milage engine ran on quaker state or penzoil it will wash all the parafin deposits and the grit they contain from the engine walls. sounds like what you might want huh? No all that stuff will be traveling through your bearings and wear them out real quick. I learned that lesson the hard way.

Jason , Valvoline racing oil is excellent conventional oil. If you have a higher mileage engine that uses some oil already its not a bad way to go. Mobil drive clean is also a excellent oil.
Otherwise Synthetics and the ones I listed are the way to go.

what track! ha? you havent taken it yet, or at least no to any drift events, why are you stressin so much about oil, rember what i told you "you need to have a real reason to warrent a switch to synthetic(like complete engine rebuild, ie new bearings seals,bushings, lashes), it is better to run the same type of oil all the seals, bearings and the engine itself has been used to and sold from the dealership back in 91 on", so use organic oils and use valvoline or castrol gtx, twins is using valvoline straight 50 in there race cars, but they are turbo, stick to 10w30 or so valvloine normal oil or gastrol gtx 10w30. Btw i track my car three times a month and recomend 1030gtx, or straight 30 or 50 depending on the type or racing or turbo setup. Call me, and ill call sam and wayne from jspec or from phase2 and i can ask them for you, thanks for the parts btw sam! officially sponsored! haha. lets get a turbo on your car already! at least turbo ka drifter vewry cool!

so it beats vipers and e46s on low boost setting, i dont give a fuc if it has no doors(low boost 1.00bar high boost 1.25 bar), i just love the look on the poor smucks face who was in the vette last time. I ran 12.80 best @1bar so far, 13.20 last weekend due to wastegate failure 11.5psi. damn internalgates. btw the car will be painted and dents out in a month so no more ghetto, otherwise what is ghetto about my car? a couple dents and some primer spots i suppose. The afc, avcr, hks wastgate, custom t25/28 hybrid custom piping, with jet hot coating and high temp paint, nismo fpr, 555 cc tomei injectors, 3 puck custom copper clutch from clutchnet, my dual diaphram high strength pressure plate, custom all aluminum 400 dollar 3 core two pass raidator, my nismo thermostat, or hmm my m&h drag radials? is that ghetto? hmm i never knew stripping your cars rear interior and ac/pwr steering system as well as under dash equipment for a car specifically with drag racing in mind and runing only the essentials to go fast while still mashing it eveywhere and getting 28 mpg is ghetto, all on a really steep budget. sorry dont see your point. where the hell have you been anyways why dont you come by and check out all the cars ive been rolling out wth custom turbo setups and sr swaps? call me up this weekend and come by you bitch! haha, ill show you the video of the 13.20s on 11.5 psi of boost. now hapily at 14.5 thank you

ps.. highjacked!

Somebody already hit the nail on the head for conventional oils. Avoid parafin (wax) based oils like Penzoil, Quaker State. . . uh, and others. When they break down from heat or just get old, they leave behind a buildup and can really scew up your motor. For the others (ash based, iirc), it doesn't matter a great deal. Castrol GTX, Mobil1, Valvoline. . . All will do the job and you really won't notice a difference.
