    I personally use Rotella T6 full synthetic and a Purolator filter. Everyone will have their oil of choice, but that's mine.

    For every three who post you are likely to get 5 opinions. That is partially legit, since vastly different operating scenarios really do require different oils. That said, I personally use AmsOil 20W50 racing oil. I consider Rotella the next option.

    I used Castrol GTX 10w-40 with good results from multiple oil analyses on my old 3S.

    Rotella is good. I use Brad Pen personally.

    Any good oil changed regularly will be fine.

    ^ ^ ^ bottom line.
    Ranked No. #1 in initial quality

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.
