bassHZ Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 i got a 95' towncar with over 230k miles on it , i use castrol high mileage 10w40 and 1 quart of lucas oil stabilizer every oil change . im not sayin its the best cus idk but a good friend of mine is a really good mechanic and thats what he recommended if i couldnt afford the royal purple which is "supposed" to be the best , but if it gets the job done then i suppose any will do as long as its the right weight. i also think royal purple is the best the only thing is expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared420 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 mobil 1 with 1 quart substituted with lucas synthetic oil stabilizer. and I use K&N or Bosch filters i speak from exp.i work part time at a local repair shop and we do a ton of oil changes to taxi cabs and all we do is use a api aproved oil its more important to do it on time thna a brand as long as its approved. dont get me wrong if you have the money and prefer the label go ahead all im saying is on a budget u can use any quality oil Yeah, I believe it but for me its piece of mind too. I Just feel better about using "high quality" stuff. It gets a little pricey. 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreekDesignz Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 My TB is recommended for 5w-30 but I've heard some pros say to go with 10w-40 because my truck has almost 115k miles on it. What is the difference in the oil types besides the thickness? ♠ FreekDesignz Demo Collection ♠ Everything You Need To Know About Car Audio Torres' Box Tuning Calculator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 My TB is recommended for 5w-30 but I've heard some pros say to go with 10w-40 because my truck has almost 115k miles on it. What is the difference in the oil types besides the thickness? i could be wrong but i beleave its all in the thickness when going from a 5w30 to a 10w30 exc. there is so many different ones available to choose from on the market. in my supercharged mustang i use a 20 w 50 only in the summer time and thats because i run the car hard and want the extra thick oil but there is a down side that i can be putting extra toll on my oil pump i guess you can use pretty much what ever you want but is it required? if your looking for any everday oil 10w40 is okay in the summer but in the winter i would use 10w30 this aids cold starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreekDesignz Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I got my oil changed this morning and I realized there is soo meny choices. I am the type of person who likes to keep everything the same brand. If Rockford Fosgate made motor oil, that's what you would find in my truck. Then agian I do perfer quality over quantity. ♠ FreekDesignz Demo Collection ♠ Everything You Need To Know About Car Audio Torres' Box Tuning Calculator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
