2nd Gen R56 Cooper S Mobil1 or Mobil3000? aka The Great M/A Oil Kerfuffle of 2014

I've heard of the Mobil 1 non full synthetic switch.

Many people still swear by it. That's all I've used in my previous RSX, usually what I use in my Miata (changes at 3.5K tho) and what I plan to keep using on my Mini.

Best thing out there at a non ridiculous price would be Amsoil tho. May switch to that for the Miata since it mostly gets hard use.

 

and to think I went to work today and could have been kerfuffling all day here instead......:wink:

Castrol EDGE 5W-30 Titanium Synthetic (at this moment in time):fingerscrossed:

 

Everyone knows all an engine needs is Slick-50 & a dose of STP once in a while. :wink:

I've been running Mobil 1 in all my cars since 1988, ain't blowed one up yet.

 

I use Kerfuffle 5W 30. It's reeel slippery! They say it's made from seal snot.

It's not a debate...



It's a Kerfuffle

 

:cornut: PSSSSSSSSSSSSSST don't tell any one but I have and do use all the brands mentioned above depending on price. TOP SECRET :yikes::yikes:opcorn:opcorn:

Yeah, I usually do the same thing. We shall see who wins when I go buy some oil soon.

 

I will use what I use and sit back and watch other blow up.

 

^^^ You are right as always. :biggrin5:

Post your phone number here so we can call & ask all the questions that come our way in life that you have the right answer for. :smilewinkgrin:

 

With my TT it was always Mobile 1, but that **** got expensive. Or I could go back to Redline, lol. Damn that stuff was expensive, made Mobile 1 look cheap.

 

Best oil is the one that gives you the protection you want/need at the oil CHANGE interval you want. Only way to determine this is to do an occasional oil analysis. I use Blackstone about every other year (based on my low mileage driving) and have never had a questionable test result with Mobil1 5/30 or 5/40 oils.

The only time a "premium" oil is req'd is if you are getting test results you aren't comfortable with or you want to really push the oil change intervals to long mileages.

End of dicussion.........
