What Type of Motor Oil Do You Use?

[TURKEY]

What brand of oil do you use in your automobile? Why?

If other, please list what you use. I'm not an auto expert so I couldn't think of any other brands.

Very good results with Castrol GTX. Use it in a 3.0 Sable and a 2.5 Altima. Seems to have reduced some of the valve noise. Stays very clean.

Castrol GTX... 10W-30 in the summer, 5W-30 in the winter

Pennzoil, that what the loacl Lube Tech uses. In fifteen minutes and for only $20 i can get lubricated, oiled and filtered. What a deal.

You have to go with the synthetic oil. It works really well and lasts longer than normal oil.

I use Motorcraft synthetic when adding oil myself. When it's changed, whatever it is that they dealership or Express Oil uses.

that's what I used when I drove my aunts BMW around... but for an SUV, you don't really need a motor oil designed for racing..

but if I get the car I want.. lol. It's getting nothing but the best...

I've been using Quaker State 4x4 Synthetic.... although from what I hear Mobil 1 is the best.

well I use mobil 1 synthetic motor oil I use mobil 1 in the transmission, rear axle and engine actually. I'm a machanic so I figure I'd rather buy good oil then replace components.

just FYI you should never mix synthetic oil with non synethetic oil. its ok to go back and forth but you should pic a brand and type and stick with it. its ok to change weights of oil but really if you decided to but syntetic once I'd stay with it but by mixxing regular and synthetic oil you are hurting your engine. Just keep in mind if you have a old car synetheic oil will find the oil leaks real well. sometimes it might be better to go with havoline over 75,000 mile formula.
