Give Royal Purple a go. It's an American performance synthetic and used alot by racers, especially drag racing. It's not easy to find, but in every car I've used it in it has been fantastic. One car showed a power gain on the dyno after putting this stuff in.

Royal Purple is available from Autobarn. I seem to recall the LS1 guys like using it.

But why?

Synthetic Castrol 10w60 have done an excellent job of protecting my engine in the past

I totally agree Allan with your statements and you are the reason I am using 10-60 edge...... plus I'm getting lazy changing oil every 5000 so I change every ~ 7500 with synthetic (probably stretch this to 10K now based on your experience).

I once had a 2.0L V6 twincam and I feel/hear differences between oil, however I find this not the case with the T.

Cheers,

So you would recomanded 10w60 for a stock T?

Based on my experience, absolutely

[ROLMDL]

Thanks Ninka as I was tosing up between 0w40 and 10w60

and I think it would be wise to use 10w60??

[IH8TOADS]

I'd go 10-60 for sure.

As you know I have a reasonably hard worked phoon and have for the past 14 months put 50,000 k's on it of very enthusiastic driving.

Prior to that I had a T that I put 80,000 on in 2 years of hard modified driving.

I have for the first time used castrol edge 10-60 and absolutely recommend the stuff..

I have used every other type of synthetic oil and some semi - synth. and none feel or seem to preform as this one does.

Only been in for 2 days and feels and sounds great. I change every 5000km's so I will post again here on the oil at 5000.....

Just my 2c worth I thought I would share.....

I used the Edge 0W40 at 1,500kms. I now have 4,000 kms and all is good.

The only differences I have noticed are that the car runs slightly cooler, and starts easier from cold.
