Engine Oil - What Does Everyone Use?
Just wondered what everyone was putting in and why.
Thanks!

Oil
Castrol 0w-30 (Made in Germany). I used it at the recommendation of PATMAN who posted a thread on The Forum. The car runs great and even though I hang in 3rd and 4th gears longer than I should (at rpm's over 3,500), I never use a drop of oil.
The Mobil 1 is good but I found that if I drove the car at rpm's over 3,000, I would see some oil use between oil changes.
Just my opinion after listening to the experience of others on this site.
