It's all about the additives in the oil. It helps it stick to the metal and keep it lubed... even when it is not in use.

Remember most of the engine wear is right after start up, when all the oil has drained off of the bearings.

DING DING DING!! You are correct ^ You have won a cookie! Please PM someone random to claim

Do some research on different oils and find out exactly the companies are putting in the oil...Please, do not base your decisions off what joe oilman says in some trendy magazine :|

Ok, by your logic I can go and buy the ebay motor oil...I think the name's Olive F1? It's completely trustworthy because danica patrick (Spelling?) drinks the shit and uses it in her cars? If she does it...hell it has to work!







*And if you searched Ebay for Olive F1....Please ram your head into the wall*

There could be other reasons why Nascar doesn't use RP. My guess is because whoever pays them to use their oil can outbid RP.

Maybe cause the people in Nascar is paid off by another oil company. Ever thought about that? Plus most Nascar drivers tear down their engines after every race and to a slight rebuild.

There are alot of people, drag racers, shops that have used RP in the track and street cars that make alot of power and they all say it is to thin and doesnt protect the engine well. You make more power with RP products because its alot thinner then normal oil and lubs, and it doesnt protect your engine as well

I will stick to AMSoil

Seems like nothing but hear-say to me...I could tell you that I ran my 11 sec 2g on ams oil...and it didn't hold up to the standards of other oils and ruined my engine...

What im saying is facts are gold man. If you can show how RP does not perform how they are PROVEN to perform...Please show me...

To be honest, if that was the case and RP was just to "thin", I don't think they would bother even marketing the product with such bad reviews.

You probly used the wrong grade in your car. An 11 second 2gen will use differant oil then a stock 2gen to be safe.

I used AMSoil in my GTI running 28PSi and never blew the turbo or motor. I used both RP and AMSoil in my eclipse and I liked AMSoil better. I am using Mobile 1 5w-20 fully synthetic in my truck right now and I am swithcing back to AMSoil because I think it peroforms and protects the engine better then all other oils i have tried

For one, I said "I could tell you" Meaning that it would be just hear say if I said that...And fyi I use rp in the 2nd gen And stated eariler I think by Jeep you cannot tell the difference simply by driving with different oils..It would take time and alot of work to come to a conclusion. You would have to tear the block down, compare sludge, carbon build up, wear and tear and other factors. Many companies do post results like these including Royal Purple.

So to say you "think" that AMS performs better is saying just that...you think so. Please don't throw off on a company because you just prefer another...

Im pretty much having to repeat myself every time someone rates one oil over the other because they are biased...If you can show tests and facts that one is better than the other please post...I always enjoy learning new things

Now if we could get Danica to roll around on a rubber sheet while drenched in 'her' oil, that would boost sales. A lot. Pack a free poster in every case.

I dk about Canada but here in the states mitsu uses mitsu oil which I am sure is just another cheap run of the mill oil. I dk that for a fact but I would guess it is

Fully Synthetic Mobile 1 5W-20 is still translucent after roughly 1800 miles. Might not be the best, but it STF ain't shite.

If it makes you happy to call it a chunk, then be all means call it a chunk.

But for the record, that picture was taken literally several seconds after I removed the dipstick from the engine. As careful as I was not to disturb the oil on the stick I couldn't prevent it from running or dripping. The "chuck" that you are referring to is where a couple of drops of oil dripped off of the dipstick onto the paper towel and puddled into one on the indentations of the pattern on the paper towel. And just so that all the information is out there my garage is about 50 degrees right now and the car's been parked for roughly 24 hours. So that's cold oil we're looking at. Not that it should matter.

Nevertheless, whether others agree with my assessment of the oil or not is irrelevant. If my post/picture helps others make up their mind about the product, whether good or bad, then I accomplished what I sought to.

EDIT: Oh yeah, my car has 7798 miles on it and has seen two oil changes. So I'm pretty sure those aren't chunks, but the picture is there for you to make the call.

sk13322 has a spectacular aura about
Ok ill try to end the nascar thing i had a high school teacher that husband works on a pit crew for robby gorden i think and she is there team account. I talked to her bout the companys that advertise in nascar just like an oil company or gas she said oil and gas companys use the nascar name and so on. The teams have to say they use sunco or whatever oil company they use but the only thing that all the teams share are gas. And its prolly not even sonco. They all use good year tires but she said if another company offered nascar more money to switch tires they prolly wood. And as far as oil they all have to use certian weights in guide lines but use diff. companys. this is proof that just because nascar uses dosnt make it good or bad. Bud light is part of nascar but all the drivers dont use or think budlight is the best beer. I SAY EVERYONE USE WHATEVER OIL U WANT ASLONG AS U CHANGE IT AND USE THE RIGHT WEIGHT OIL IS OIL. THEY ALL HAVE TO PASS THE SAME FED. TEST.
