Hey Guys,
I just had a Jasper reman 350/5.7 installed. I want to run Mobil 1 synthetic. What are your thoughts on this and what weight oil should I use? Hard to find Mobil 1 in single weight. Is it ok to use multi-weight? Thanks! |

This is NOT rocket appliances here man. 10W-30 will work. . Is the engine assembled with flat tappets , or roller cam ? IF you have an older design flat tappet motor, look for a zinc containing oil formulation, My choice would be RotellaT, but I would use any old rebranded valvoline product available WITH ZINC. |

Quoted: Rotella has shearing issues... Especially the t3. There are a ton of other cj4 spec oils that hold up exceptionally better then Rotella... And actually, rotella is the running joke of the lubricants world. You tryin' to cut into my money man?   |

Don't worry. I think shell is spending $47 or $50 million this year to promote it. Only out spending the rest of the 15w40 majors 4:1. Plus they're out there making some really dumb moves in the market that Ill capitalize on. |

| I ran Mobil 1 5W-30 in my 1993 23' Regal Cruiser w/350 chevy. I bought it 2 years old so I didn't break it in, but agree the earlier comment to use a good quality dino oil to break it in for several hours then drain that chit out and put in the good stuff. Changing it every year in the spring after that. |

Delo 10/30 semi . 13 to 14 dollars a gallon at Walmart. This will be the oil for my 2007 chevy truck , my diesel tractor, honda 4 wheeler and about 10 air cool engines.
May use it in my 2004 BMW Z4 as soon as I see what are the HTHS of the oil. If it is 3.4 or better than it will go into the BMW too. |

You need to have your bullshit filter on. Just like here. |
. In stuff that will run fine on most anything you want to throw into it. Put 10w30 in it and change it every fall. You will sell it long before it dies.
