I trust Mobil 1 oil with my motor, I am not one to worry about a marginal difference as it will never really make a difference in real life, even though as people say the quality in mobil one years back was much better
but why not pay less for a better oil? even if it is only marginaly better and only saves a couple of dollars. Still seems worth it to me.

And what you know so much with all your stereo equipment? How about you make your car not slow then you can talk engine stuff with the big boys...

The OP asked what we usually prefer,and all I did was state what I use and why. I get the best oil for my engine period. **** off stereo jockey

Hahahahahaha.

look LivingCanvas,
I know more about car audio can you can ever imagine, competition car audio in sound quality not loud *** bass. That is annoying. People know who I am in the audio world and people in the western section have met me multiple times and I am friends with them here.

About assaulting my car though, ha ha ha. Calling my car slow? People in the forum know that I do not drag race, as a matter of fact; I have been to irwindale ONCE! I ran a 8.65 my first time ever drag racing on my WS6 with LID-ONLY. The funny thing is though, I do Auto-cross and interesting I see that your car has some suspension work. Any given day of the week I will own you and your car that is "faster" than me on the autocross even with your given internal engine work and bolt on mods. Your CAR may be faster than mine in a straight line but i'll put money that I am a faster DRIVER than you are.

dont waste your breath. Ive learned that some people on here arent worth it. Ive met you and youre a cool dude, with lots of knowledge and a cool car.

BTW let me know when you go racing next. I wanna watch and see what an Fbody can do, im not ready to try it yet though.
