For me it's Castrol 10w-40 and Sunoco 94 Octane

20-50 Valvoline and whatever 91 octane I can get my hands on when I'm running low. Some of us states aren't fortunate enough to have 94 readily available!

94 octane is also $2.06 a gallon!

Italcarguy - got any pics of the verde?

i'm used to paying $5.00 a gallon for race gas so i consider anything under that cheap.

i'm working on getting the pics...still looking for that right background. will throw it up in the photo section once i do.

Castrol RS & BP98 octane (which works out to be about US$2.65 a gallon) !!!!!

Fortunately 100+ octane race gas is only US$3.70 a gallon....so I do a bit of "testing" in the Sud.

20w/50 Valvoline non synth. 93 octaine Chevron with Techron. Techron is the greatest single thing ever invented by human hands.

I feel left out on this oil, is there something wrong with 10w-40 vs. 20w50

CrowBar · #8 (**permalink**) 12-27-2003, 09:32 AM

My personal belief is that 10w30-40 is too light when warm. I drive my 75 hard enough that I've seen anyting lighter than 20/50 drain like water after a good run. I've never had an oil-related failure in 15 years of driving the nuts off of Alfas, and using 20/50

I've run 15W-50 Mobil 1 for 10 years, and Amoco Premium. From talking with a former petroleum engineer, I believe Chevron Premium has the best additive package (not sold in Colorado) and Amoco/BP is the next best package.

Have been running Mobil1 5W-50 Rally since I bought the 75T but switching to Selenia Racing 10w-60
For fuel, Shell 98 octane (RON or DIN or whatever the hell we are using)

10w30 Mobil 1 and premium (91) Mobil, Shell, or Chevron in my 24v Milano.

Kendall GT1 20w50 and whatever cheap gas i can find. i do put premium (94-97? octane) in about every 8-10 tanks, and run cleaner/booters thru 2-3 times a year. Drive it every day.

I don't know what it is, but I"m learing of going with anything other than 20w50...gas, couldn't tell you...I usually get whatever I can afford

Mobile 1 is a synthetic?

SOHC 3.0 V6, 10w40 Castrol Syntec, Chevron 91 (RON +MON)/2

10w30 should be good for 24Vs.

Oil-Castrol 20w/50 with Marvel Mystery Oil.(used in all my cars since the '70's)
