I have always used Castrol GTX but will probably change as I have noticed more sludge than normal on my vehicles.
When I worked for a tree company they swapped to Royal Purple on all trucks and experienced much more oil burning compared to the dino oils except on trucks that started running Royal Purple on a very low mileage. They swapped back to dino oil in the higher mileage trucks.
For the filters after you understand what they say you can see that fram is for the most part a very poor choice. I have seen a Fram filter balloon up. Wix and Napa filters worked fine on the same engine.

What kind of oil pressure do you have?

It is a digital dash. So it goes to 60 and then off the chart so to speak.. It seems to be good.
I saw in some old maintenance records that he (my dad) requested that Slick 50 be put into into it. I kinda remember him having that done.
That being said is it ok to put synthetic oil in it?

Thanks

Usually it's safe if the engine has less than 100k miles on it, but it is always a gamble to some extent when the engine didn't come with full synthetic from the factory. I myself can't recommend or warn you since I haven't switched to syntehtic in my car, and I probably won't since it has 126k.

Hey guys I use 10w-30 Valvoline most of the time it's what all the shops in my town use basicly.

I've had good experience with Quaker (4x changes) an the car ran alot better an seemed not to get as hot... also my car didn't die out when I went 100+ mph... so im not sure if it's bad but it did take going over 100mph..

However the worst oil by far HAS to be Penzoil it is the shittiest oil by far i'd take walmart oil over it. I've changed numerous cars that ran Penzoil an everyone you can see the deposits flow out like it's never been changed before gunky!!

Also from person experiance I would say Synthetic oil made my Saturn leak so bad I had to replace the engine. As soon as I started the car after changing the oil 10 sec later it wouldn't stop leaking.

This right here I use for my flat tappets.

we just got a rural king in my area, haven't been yet been meaning to get there, word is they got oil CHEAP

kmcn47

thats not entirely fair, you cant judge an oil based on neglected maintenance, from working part time in a shop doing oil changes and working at autozone, i can tell you, most people DO neglect there car maintenance, they put oil in when the warning lights on (when its almost empty) and don't get it changed unless the check engine lights on i've used pennzoil with no problems, i've heard alot of bad things about quaker state just because its so cheap around here (its low price makes lower class people buy it and then beat on their cars, there fore when said cars blow up they blame the quaker state) i've always said oil is oil the bottle, label, price, and brand name don't mean a thing. and your right about synthetic, it causes my 305 to leak, i think a switch back to conventional is in my future


p.s. everyone stop hating on FRAM nothing wrong with a FRAM filter unless your building a race engine
