What kind of motor oil are people running? I need a bit of input as Mobil 1 is rather expensive these days

I use Castrol Edge Sport 0w30 full synthetic. Have been for a long time in all my engines
Bit pricey tho.
Usually 12 to 15/litre

I use mobil S, rather thn mobile 1, just acheaper. And also the repco brand oil is mobil, so they have a mobil s equivilent thats a bit cheaper again, but is the same stuff.

Oil is important, worth getting it right. When Shell helix first came out a few (~15!) years ago I ran it in the starion (oil cooled turbo). Fresh oil, after one day driving to work and the pressure dropped. This was with turbo rated stuff!, other oils I was using at the time didn't do this (valvoline and Mobil), so I stopped using shell.

yup thats the stuff i have used and have made other people use, its a German brand and i love it after every service replacing the oil you can really feel the difference with it, its a very smooth oil.

Penrite HPR30. It seems good. Lasts a couple of track days - so thats good.

Oil pressure stays pretty stable as the oil is heated up (and overheated sometimes)

I don't use synthetic, had a bad experience, plus engine destoys it too quickly on the track, its expensive shit.

@ 34.99 for 5L of HPR30 -> its reasonably priced too.
