Jared420 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 bottom line use whatever you want its all personal preference on brand names basicly if you use royal or castrol whatever you like as long as its done on or before 3000 miles on normal oil. ive never used any additives or known any body hurt the motor from not using them. the same thing with oil filters fram makes 3 different kinds reg tg and something else. basicly do you really need the best does your car benefit from it? I stopped using fram after I saw a thread on here a while back, I think it was something about a fram worker had leaked out info about bad filters and there were a ton of problems with alot of them and the quality over the past few years has gone way down, something along those lines.It was at least a year ago. on another note all you purp lovers I have a friend who swears by that stuff. I would probably use it too if I havent been using mobil 1 forever. 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...
Benji0687 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I've been running Royal Purple for a few years now in my Caprice, and its been the best oil I've ever used. Usually I run a Wix filter too. Several of my friends work at auto shops and stores and they've told me horrible things about Fram filters. I don't remember the whole story but pretty much the cardboard they use in some of their filters breaks down quickly and can cause some problems. 1989 Chevy Caprice Classic350ci V8 High Performance JVC Arsenal HU JL XR series components Infinity Reference 6x9s Pioneer Premier 4-Channel Clarion 2-Channel Rockford Fosgate Series 1 2-Channel Fusion 2000.1D MTX Crossover RF, Knu, Kicker, and Monster wiring NVX VCW 12in.

Gotloud555 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I used quake stake oil and don't have much problem. Stay away from Fram filter.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white4d96 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I use whatever synthetic oil is on sale at the parts store. If there isn't a sale I use the walmart synthetic. Change it about every 5k (3k in winter) Too many projects, too little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAM_Designs Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 My dad and I have both used Quaker State high mileage in our last three trucks. One died at 300k(after he sold it at 265k, so who knows what the other people did to it), his current one is at 250k(no engine or tranny work at all), and mine is a 145k currently(again, no engine or tranny work at all)...always used Fram filters, and have never had an issue. Just change your oil every 3k and you'll never have a problem.

RAM_Designs Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 The wife's Crossfire calls for 0w-40, which I can only find in Mobile 1 which = too expensive. On top of that the little 6 cylinder engine requires 8.5 quarts.
