What oil do you use / should I use is a taboo topic. Been discussed too many times, many hurt feelings and purse swinging. Sometimes their husbands even chime in. If you don't just search oil or any related topic, you're really just wasting our time we could be spending discussing seat belt stitching color.

I personally use straight Slick 50. I believe the hype. That, and Split-Fire plugs.

As for oil? I like the topic. The car says 0-40 Mobile 1. It coats the moving parts. Some on here know in great detail how different oils have additives and the ability to bond to or protect moving parts better than OEM based on the real ability to perform better under extreme conditions.

As with anything on these cars, there's aftermarket crap for all of it. Some really does offer noticeable or proven advantages.
