Lol, the only Properties he posted were Viscosity. TECHNICALLY the viscosity of olive oil would qualify for a motor oil, but nothing else in it would. Basically the point I was going for.

lol.. Really mr. Oil tech? :D
I'm just going by viscosity, nothing else. That was the conversation.

Re: Engine Oil
 

No need to get cynical here Jake. You posted the numbers, and from what I see, the bigger the numbers the higher the viscosity, your olive oil is like a SAE 11 weight oil. That isn't an usable oil weight for a car. So you really didn't win this one TECHNICALLY as a 10 weight oil wouldn't be used in an engine. It would more than likely be a hydraulic fluid.

I say we throw some herbs in the engine with it and use it as a french bread dip later. mmmmmm

Lol, turbocharged italian dressing? I like that.

This thread is awesome. :postalot:

Re: Engine Oil
 

Lots of butthurt in this thread!

Re: Engine Oil
 

Guess more people should of used Castrol Syntec, or Valvoline Synpower... :P

Re: Engine Oil
 

I use Quaker State or Castrol Synthetic oils personally.

Re: Engine Oil
 

Valvoline VR1 here.

Re: Engine Oil
 

Reg. valvoline or rotella here, worked for 82k miles, -20F up to over 110F just fine.

Re: Engine Oil
 

Rotella T6 full synthetic for my baby. <3 Zinc.

Re: Engine Oil
 

Zinc rocks, and is one of the things that M1 is not on par with.

Re: Engine Oil
 

Which is why I use Amsoil Dominator. ;)

I always used Rotella in my DSM, and would never use anything else for a car that requires dino oil.

Re: Engine Oil
 

Amsoil isn't dino oil??

Re: Engine Oil
 

Not the stuff I use.

Re: Engine Oil
 

This thread has a little drama in it but still good info. Anyone posting brand, please make sure to include the weights you're using.

Goodhart, put a bigger turbo on your evo and put some good miles on that oil--please share some blackstone results@5k+ miles!

Re: Engine Oil
 

Bah, I gotta sqeeze some actual potential out of the stock one first!! haha

I will be posting results of this oil when it has reaches its lifespan though.

Re: Engine Oil
 

I beat the piss out of my engine, Im running Mobil Delvac 1300 15w40, I like to add Rislone ZDDP additive as well. Any diesel oil, Delo 400 is great oil too.

Re: Engine Oil
 

Anyone like running Mobil 1 10w30 or 5w30?

Re: Engine Oil
 

Tons of people, it's great oil as well. 5w30 and 10w30 are only for the winter months I say, to help with protection on the cold starts. You want thicker oil if you race your engine a lot.

Re: Engine Oil
 

I've used various flavors of Mobil 1 in everything i've ever owned, cars and motorcycles.

Except for the scooter, that gets Maxima Castor 927! : pimp :
