I run Royal Purple with the OEM Honda filter. Have been for ~5 years. I barely burn any between oil changes.

 

Have either of you ever done oil analysis to see how it's holing up in your car?

 

Idgaf enough to take it to pm's, plus I'm now enjoying your fanboi argument.

 

I must be missing something. I thought we were having a discussion.

 

Nope. I know there have been quite a few done on s2ki by guys who track their cars of the Motul 300v and the 6100, as well as Mobil1 and others. The Motul had some of the most favorable results, and the 6100 was better than the 300v for street cars that saw minimal track time, where the 300v was better for all out track cars.

I also talked to the Motul guys at SEMA last year and they told me the same thing. Lots of race teams in cars and bikes run Motul, even in endurance racing. If it'll hold up to 24hrs of lemans, it should be good for my Honda.

 

i used Valvoline VR-1 before with good results too... but when i change my oil every 1500-2k miles i guess it doesn't matter

A good article on turbo/oil application

Use to run Mobile-1 for years in my cars; I always seen the "serviced with mobile-1" tags on my vettes in high school, and just kept using it. My father was a chevy enthusiast, so he guided my decisions, and pointed out the service tags. lol
I did try royal purple in the fox few years ago, but then price went above $70 bucks a change. The price increase caused me to look into other options, and chose to start using Motorcraft Syntec blend oil. The price at 27.99 keeps the wallet easier, and the conscious clear of not using penzoil. Which is numbero uno for jiffy lube, lol. Oil filters used are either hamp or oem honda, whatever I grab first in the box of filters.
Motorcraft syntec blend oil, no oil loss, with ~90k on the s2k now. On average, oil changes are done at the beginning of each season, or ~3k miles.
Never ran a viscosity test on engine oil before, never cared enough.

 

The Frenchies make good stuff. No sense changing from what works unless there's a benefit or sponsorship.
Yea one mods happen the most important number on an oil spec is HTHS (high temp high shear). Beyond that the only testing worth a damn has to be represented in a chart to show changes over time not just a final number.
Exactly, if you get the joy of changing oil every 3k, Amsoil is way too expensive for that and honestly the Motorcraft could probably go longer as well. For filters give K&N or Mobil1 a shot (they identical in guts) and filter much better than other parts-store options.

And then the trans fluid/gear oil comes up and everyone has their favorites. Reason I became a dealer is I'm simply making it easier for my customers to get everything in one place that is top quality. So I usually get their list of cars/truck/van/motorcycle, VINs to double check options or call dealer when there are multiple options, and make a big ol quote and they pick it up for have it shipped to them. Easier than going to multiple stores for different filters and fluids and all that. I wouldn't be in business if I didn't provide a service.

 

I ran vr1 in my Miata track car. Cheap and effective, plus the oil got changed every track weekend so it only got a couple hundred miles on it.

 

When I build another motor for non street use : Brad Penn.

I use Bel Ray in my dirtbikes.

And Rotella and OEM Honda filter is my street turbo motors. Why? Because it's cheap and it works.

And I seriously LOLOLOLOL'd when Grant said Amsoil is the VEMMA of motorsports.
