What is the better oil?
Hey all..
For the 1000th time of changing my oil, i like to hear what peoples opions are on oils. At a canadian tire or auto parts what are the better oils those companys hold, Im not really looking for a sythenic oil, because i do my oil on a regular base, dont need to use the expensive stuff. Mobile 1? Quakerstate? Thanks for the help

Any quality oil will work just fine, just make sure its the right weight.
I like to have nice oil and i usually buy high milage stuff, but i draw the line
when the price for supplies goes over 20 or so dollars. My roommate in
college used to live by royal purple, but at 8 dollars a quart its just not worth
it if you aren''t driving a ''vette or a ferrari. I purchase my oil at Walmart, and
sometimes they will have synthetic for the same price as regular, and i go
for it at that point. I''ve used it a few time, and its nice, but not needed.

I don''t think there is really an issue, I never had a problem. When i change
my oil, I normally let the pan drain for a half hour or so, open up the filter
and the top cap and just let it go until it really stops dripping. Even if you
are just doing a regular oil change this helps get as much dirty oil out as
possible. Even if you don''t drain the lines to this extent, mixing that
minuscule amount of oil should not effect anything. I can just say that with
my experience using it, its never been a problem.

look at the back of the bottle if it says oil city pa. throw it in the garbage.. been building engines of all types for 30 years and if you want a motor full of sludge use penns or q state and thats what will happen. mechanics who know use low ash oils like valvoline,havoline conventional oils.( syn base oils are another animal.)
