If you can't find the good oil you want (which isn't at Walmart, Orielly's etc) you can always go on Amazon.com. I for one am not a fan Syntec or Mobile 1 (road car oil) in anything I really care about or anything I race, but that's just me.

I am lucky, the owner of the NAPA by my house is an Amsoil distributor so I will be using the Amsoil 0w-20. I'm a big fan of Amsoil qualiy and happily pay for it.

A lot of people think about running "racing oil" or whatever in their street car but I wouldn't recommend that as racing oils typically don't have the detergents and inhibitors in them and higher levels of Zinc/Phosphorous (good for racing protection but too much can harm catalytic converters).

Redline, Joe Gibbs, Motul, Amsoil all make a "street car" acceptable oil that is robust enough for racing type conditions.
