I am considering a different oil. I have been using Bel Ray. Any sugestions?

There have been many oil threads here. Try the search box, you will have much reading.

From the information in other posts I will be switching to a synthetic oil,

I make my own oil out of xantham gum, peanuts, fireflies, and a dash of moly just to say it has an additive. Over 12,000 miles so far on this oil change.

Joe, do you use the salted or unsalted peanuts?

Unsalted. Everybody knows better than to use salted.

Even my chauffer knows that.

honestly a lot of people i know run high milage gtx or penzoil, excuse my lack of spelling prowess when it comes to brand names.

Honestly, unless a particular brand is sponsoring you or paying contingencies buy what ever is on sale and just change it often.

Damn it Joe..Dont you know thats no good for the clutch???

The fire flies counteract the moly.

Now who is Moly & what does she have against fireflies?

i dont disagree, im just communcating info

I think it is a friend of Little Richard

Aah, she is a young he

Ya whatever.

Salt is Bad for you too.

I use the full syn Rotella 5W-40. I use about 2qts of the Rotella, and usually mix it with a 20W-50, full syn to help meet the mfg requirements of a 10W-40. I figure after about 500 miles that 42-45 mix, is ground down to a 35 or so anyway.
