People are always asking what oil you should use. Well here is a test proving Mobil 1.

LS1 engine

Oh, and they will be comparing it to Amsoil.

Maybe they will also add Red Line and Motul to their list of oils.

M1 is factory filled with my Porsche and from my understanding MB too. $5/quart at Wal-Mart. That's good enough in my book.

I visited our local Porsche-shop a couple of weeks ago, a big opening.
Both Mobil and Porsche tuners from Germany were there.
They used Mobil 1 in both stock and tuned cars, good to hear!

A yellow 780hp GT2 stood there and they used 15w50 Racing Motorcycle oil in that car.
Itīs quite expensive but not near RedLine or Motul over here.

Damnit!! I just ordered some more redline. I thought everyone on this board swears by the stuff? Only $6 a quart though through a friend of mine who owns a shop.
