Hi all, I know the oil debate has been going on since Jesus was a lad.
Im in Australia and the temperature gets up to sometimes 40 degrees centigrade in the summer months and that's in the shade. Im in Sydney and the heat in summer and months either side are hot and long.
I have been using Royal Purple HPS 5W30 for a year now. Was told by a mechanic who has been in the industry for 40 years its the best oil. More high level of zinc/phosphorus is the key he states.
What are your opinions as if RP is good my engine in the constant high temps here in Oz. I did use Mobil 1 5W30 for a while. Has a 165,000kms on her now and still running strong.
2. When changing to different brand oils should a oil flush be used?
3. Oil filters - Same as oil brand or generic Motorcraft/Ford ones?
Some oils and filters are not always available here in Australia.
4. Mobil 1 ESP fully synthetic 5w30? Thoughts
Apologies for most likely going over old ground.
Thanks fellas
