  • Oil Question

    Just wondering what type of motor oil and filter everyone is using. I changed mine today.....Mobil 1 Synthetic 5w 30, with a Fram xtra guard filter.

    Whatever they give me at Grease Monkey..

    I'll probably start using Mobil 1. I know that they tell you with Slick 50 to not use it before 20,000 miles to let your engine break in properly, wasn't sure if the same held true with synthetics. Probably not..

      I use mobile 1, but I only use ACDelco Oil filters. I prefer to use only ACDelco products when I can.

        i,ve always used Fram filters on my cars. Is there much of a difference between delco/fram?
        Or is it just preference?

          Is use the K&N gold filters and mobile 1 oil. I've had bad experiences with fram filters and will never use them again. IMHO they just plain suck. The AC Delco ones are good to but I personally prefer the K&N ones.

            I mainly use AC Delco because I trust them. I've used other filters and haven't had a problem that I know of in the past. I've used other types of plugs and wired though and over time they messed up my coils and I had to get them replaced and then I replaced the plugs and wires again using AC Delco and it ran great. The shop I take it up too also suggests them and I just trust them more, so it's mainly a preference I guess

                            I live in Los Angeles, no temperature extremes, never freezing cold nor scorching hot. What oil should I use 10/30 or 5/30?
