What type of engine oil are you guys using? I have been running Castrol and Valvoline in the past, just curious what everyone uses these days.

I run Torco right now.. but I've ran both Red Line and Royal Purple..

The Torco SR1 is killer.. expensive but very good stuff.

Royal purple

Delo 400 -- 15/40

NOT the LE junk

It has all the zinc and the good stuff in it.

I don't like modern Mobil 1... they took out a ton of the good stuff to meet new guidlines intended for modern cars with cats..

I run Mobil 1 in my truck.. but I want all those evil lubicants in my Camaro, so I run stuff like Torco (which would be bad to run in my truck)

This is what we run in lots of different cars, I even had an engineers from one of the companies that has been listed say just to use that if I was going to change at regular intervals and not a full time race application.
