what oil do you use? - Page 6

cardude007617 · 03-21-2010, 08:07 PM

you flushed it out by running it on water for a few minutes right??

Metallman56 · 03-21-2010, 10:55 PM

well of course. thats the only way i know how to do it.

[ChaosweaveR] · 03-21-2010, 10:57 PM

No, you gotta hook up the hose to the oil fill, leave the drain plug off, run the water and then run the motor.

Mike Jung · 03-21-2010, 11:10 PM

Silly people.

Don't you know water & oil don't mix ?

For cleaning out your engine: Use Simple Green Degreaser.
That will clean out all the left over oil.

Note: For external motor cleaning only.

I do that and then when I get the new oil in I add a cup of salt to perserve the gaskets and seals. Just like beef jerky.

i guess i dont feel like i have to have RP, i just feel like its the safest choice for me. i've never had any problems with it, and i've never ever had any build up of any kind on my oil cap before i switched to Edge. i tried to save money and i think i got bit in the a*s. so i just went back to whats worked for me.

[ChaosweaveR] · 03-24-2010, 12:09 PM

No offense, but it's just a GA. Not a race car. That condensation build up was from something else.

AaronGTR · 03-24-2010, 03:03 PM

yeah, I doubt it even had anything to do with the oil change. Castrol edge is good stuff. You could run regular Mobil1 in there and it would be fine. Your engine mods aren't that extreme.

I use Amsoil engine flush when I do my oil changes. then it gets amsoil full syn and also amsoil oil filter. I also run a amsoil air filter

sho nuff · 04-01-2010, 09:25 AM

My GT has 105k on it and I plan on changing the oil this weekend. I was looking at Mobil 1 High Mileage. Has anyone ever used this stuff before? If so,is it worth it?

GA2000GTSpeed · 04-01-2010, 12:19 PM

Since were talking about filters... i got bored and started looking up random oil filter videos and I've never seen this one before.
