I use 5w-30 amsoil in my cobra. I'm thinking of running 10w-30 in my new engine though. The piston to bore clearance in my new engine is larger than stock. I will run at least a 5w-30 though. The engine was assembled with 50 weight oil.

You can request a test kit and send it to them to have it looked at, it's $22.50 to have it analyzed
I'd rather find out sooner than later, but looks like you have had good luck so far.
10W30 here too, i'll probably stick with the 30 weight unless I decide to try out a 20 weight oil
Anyone have any good/bad experience with Red Line oil?
Have any of you heard of Alisyn? http://aerospacelubricants.thomasne...92?&plpver=10&origin=advsrch&by=prod&filter=0

Damn. There have been a bunch of oil threads lately.
It's like asking which shifter to use. MGW, dude. Mobil 1, son.

There sure have, MGW :rockon:
Oil can be debated forever. Shifters... Well, there's only one lol
:lol: :beer:
FYI, Advance Autoparts now sales Royal Purple.
Amsoil all the way, I have engines blow and when disassembled the oil still looked great I've been using it for years and knock on wood no problems.
To be honest I don't think you will see much difference no matter what oil you use. I had a 92 Subaru Legacy with 286K miles on the dial and all I ever put in there was Castrol 20-50 (even in the winter when living in New England). The car didn't burned a drop of oil (just dipped from the oil pan). It was cheap and sold everywhere.
I run Amsoil 2000 (0-30W) in the Cobra. I was inspecting my piston skirts after 16K miles and they looked like they were never even used (not even a scratch). They tell me it's great stuff :shrug:

Who ****ing cares? Couldn't you look at one of the other 5000 posts or polls on oil? Use an oil that is 5W20 or 5W30 and brown and change it every 3000 miles. That is it. It does not matter what you use as long as you change it at regular intervals.

Are you saying that the subject of oil has already been discussed here on SVTP? :dw:
Actually no it has not been discussed, because there is nothing to discuss. Follow my procedure above, that is it.
There has been much useless banter, conjecture, and opinion on the subject, of which very little has validity.
:bash::bash:
FYI, I did a search and found no polls regaurding what oil you use. It just so happen that the current dicussions are which oils are better. So do yourself a favor and re-read the op. :burn:
:bash: :bash: :bash: LOL
^ :dw: :bash: :lol:
You are asking people for pictures of destroyed motors and opinions on what oil they think is best. That has been done in literally hundred of threads. There is like one every week.
The best oil is the one that you change every 3000 miles.

My choice is simple based on credible deduction. BobistheOilGuy.com has spoken great things about German Castrol 0w-30...and the Blackstone Labs used oil analysis has shown my motor to have reduced wear over Mobil 1.
