There's so many "oil" threads already. Try the search sometime. There's also a lot of GOOD info on oil on bobstheoilguy.
what is the big deal, this is a forum right. he asked a stupid question, if you dont like it dont look at it. there is a million exhaust questions that ask the same question over and over. and besides products do change, or get improved upon every year.
and for the op, right now i am using mobil one 10w 30 with there filter it was on sale. i usually dont like to change the brand of filter i use, but when money is tight.
Ive used just about every synthetic(even bought into the amsoil thing for a change lol) but the last few changes have been w/ Q horsepower...only 20 bucks at walmart for 5 quarts and there reviews are good. i only use full synthetics in the Z...when i bought the car last year it had a little oil leak...after a few changes the leak was gone...im a believer that it helps the seals,etc.

Well, I used to use that European German Castrol oil but they don't have that here in ENGLAND, which is part of Europe....lol. However, they do have Mobil One European oil, 0W-40. I'll be using that in place of it.

Anyone have any experience or information on Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic 5W-40?? I know some guys run conventional 15W-40 Rotella in their engines, but its much too viscous for anything other than racing applications, and its not suitable for winter.
From what I've read, T6 Synthetic 5W-40 has much more zinc and anti-wear additives than regular gasoline oil, which is why it may be beneficial to use it in our engines.
Currently I run Mobil 1 Extended Performance Full Synthetic or Valvoline Synpower.
