Anyone have any thoughts on AMSOIL? Was planning to go with that as it worked wonderfully well in my S2K...

I used RP in my b16, and rb26 with no ill effects afaik. I didn't get my oil analyzed, and changed it excessively frequently though... Most of the oilguys say it's not so hot, but it was reasonably priced, and it easily available in the weights i wanted to run.
edit: that being said, i'll probably be using the oem oil for now until napa has another 3.49/qt sale :P |

Love Amsoil. Ran it for years in many different vehicles. I really don't think you can go wrong with any of the synthetic oils on the market as long as you change filters and keep up regular oil changes.

I'm running RP in my BRZ right now, and the engine just BLEW UP!!!!
Oh wait, no it didn't, my bad. RP is fine, all modern oils that meet the manufacturer specs are fine, some better than others, but none are bad. I may go amsoil with my future changes just cause I can get it a bit cheaper than the RP I bought, but I wouldn't be against Mobil1, Penzoil, or any of the others. If you are racing, then that makes a bigger difference.

T6 seems to be the fav among the turbo owners. On SF, that's the brand of choice.

Doesn't this forum have rules against trolling? This thread is a really poorly disguised effort. Yet, it is still being fed.
FAIL.
