I am going to be using Mobile 1 personally on mine because I had a DE run on just Mobile 1 its whole life and at 232,000 mile it looked perfect inside. I over reved it though and am going to rebuild and turbo. Good Stuff!

Royal Purple is probably top2-3 as far as Synthetics go. As far as conventional oils, Valvoline Durablend is one of the best and cheap too.

I used to use Mobil1 until I saw a big test on all the major oil brands and Mobil1 oils did horrible.

I'll be running Royal Purple 10-30 Synthetic in the motor and Redline Shockproof in the tranny. At $7-9 a quart for the fluids named above though, it's expensive as hell!......but well worth it, IMO.

People fail to mention Pennzoil Platinum and it has tested higher than RP and Mobil 1.

Mobil 1 is crap, royal purple is worse. Amsoil or Eneos. Or reg crap valvoline if you are broke.
