I use the mobile 5000 stuff. it works good for me. Prior to using this stuff i had put in some genaric oil and it would drip oil. Since then i havnt had any type of oil leaks or drips. My car also doesnt run as hot as it did with the genaric .99 cent oil........oh yeah i use the recommended 5w30

im not sure about the sodium levels of the oil, but it's suppose to last 7500 miles instead of 3000, i dont really trust that though.
id just use mobile 1 synthetic or synthetic blend
and continue changing my oil every 3,000 miles like everone has always done.

is the redline oils fylly or semisynthetic?

[StrtRacer98]

Redline motor oils are fully synthetic.

If your looking for a good motor oil, you should check out royal purple
it's supposedly the best oil you can use
personally i like valvoline

Mobil 5000 [regular dino] and 7500 [semi synth] use sodium in their additive packs on purpose. There's nothing wrong with that-- it's just a different way of going about doing things chemically. Both of those oils are just fine, and I have heard of good results from both. A lab that knows that you're using these Mobil products should still be able to detect a coolant leak if there is one.

Redline is a whole different planet oilwise. First of all, there is their regular oil and their racing oil. For most of us, racing oil is NOT what you want. The formulation is really esoteric-- ester based stuff. Some people think it's the holy grail and some don't. It costs twice as much as many of the regular synthetics on the market.

I buy in bulk when there are promotions or good sales. In the last year, for example:
Mobil 1 for $2.75
Pennzoil Platinum for $3.25
German made Castrol Syntec for $3.99
and Mobil 5000 for free!

where do u get that oil from terminaldegree ?

[terminaldegree]

The mobil 5000 was a free online promotion.
The German Castrol was a regular sale from AutoZone.
The Pennzoil Platinum was a $15 mastercard giftcard rebate from O'reillys [they processed it FAST too]
The Mobil 1 was a closeout on older "SL" rated oils at AutoZone when they went to the newer "SM" rating
I also had some "buy 3 get 3 free" Mobil 1 coupons from Pepboys for buying a $1 MADD calendar.

I found out about all this on the message boards at www.bobistheoilguy.com
FWIW

i dont know that is the royal purple really a good oil...i was looking comments bobistheoilguy pages and there was something that after 1000miles its loose all its viscousness

[tonttu]

whatabout amsoil?is it any better than mobil 7500?

[terminaldegree]

Amsoil, Royal Purple, and Redline are intended for different markets than Mobil 7500 because they cost at least twice as much money per quart in the US.

There are at least 2-3 different versions of Amsoil at the same viscosity rating. Many people have good luck and test results with it, but I think its cost is too high.

I have heard some stories about Royal Purple shearing, but it seems to show GREAT oil analysis results in GM engines like ours. I also find it too expensive.

The best Mobil product currently is Mobil 1 EP. It would compare to these other high-end oils feature-wise, and is generally less expensive than the other names you have mentioned. You can really spend too much of your life overanalyzing this stuff when just about ANY API "SL" or "SM" certified oil will do the trick.

The Mobil lineup from best to worst:
Mobil 1 EP, Mobil 1, Mobil 7500, Mobil 5000, Mobil Drive Clean

whatabout shell helix is it any good?can i use 10w40 in my engine?is it too thick oil?i have firebird v6 112500miles on it

[tonttu]

by the way,does amsoil have any synthetic blend oils?

[tonttu]

well,now when i have look over different oils only two best for me would be shell synthetic blend 10w40 or mobil clean 7500 5w30 or 10w30.i live in sweden so only those oils are better available for me.so what you think of those two?which would be better quality.shell helix 10w40 synthetic blend or mobil clean 7500 10w30,5w30??
