Engine Oil for high performance engine

[yeehau86]

im on it bro..so far so gud...
m7 10-40
how bout u?

I haven't tried it yet, bro. Just surveying around for the feedbacks before thinking to have a try on it.

slightly expensive..but worth taking.

Re: Engine Oi for high performance engine

I would said 5w40 or 10w40 Semi or fully... but as for brand i try few already with the same price, i think I will never use MOBIL again... for some personal exprience(which I was so supprise how come Mobil become like that when i install into my DC2(B18C)...nvm... try stick with 5w40 or 10w40 semi or fully.. i guess that is my choice..for me No More MOBIL

mobil gold with grade 5/50 or 0/50 got too many additives...not gud for high speed or modded car..
will stat to get lesser by time if u use in performance car....
get 10/40 or 5/40..semi/fully will do...dont buy the normal fully syntetic..get performance oil-even semi is better than fully syntetic...
if ur car is very high hp etc 600 and above u should use 15/50

hope this might help.

The downsides of such a thick oil (when not specified) are as follows:

Additional friction, heat and wear.
A reduction of BHP at the wheels
Lower fuel consumption

The thicker the oil is the more friction and drag and the more power the engine needs to move it around the engine which inevitably translates to less at the wheels.

Well, you will probably need 5W-50/10w-50/15W-50 but only in these circumstances.

1. If the car is heavily modded and heat/oil temperatures are excessive.
2. If the car is used on track and heat/oil temperatures are excessive.
3. If it's required by the handbook.

In a worst case scenario with thick oils (when not required) is that you will experience air entrainment and cavitation inside the bearings at high RPM. Not clever stuff!

I know this is technical stuff but oil is a combination of science and engineering and few people know enough about it to make an informed choice. Just because your mates use it and have had no problems is not a good enough reason to use it, your engine would prefer and benefit from the correct oil.

Collect the data from the website & very useful for me all these years...

engines nowadays are made with thin oil in minds, sum of the engines around may run on oil as thin as 0w20 grade, which by the way is eneos' latest oil grade for modern engines

Sorry to interrupt guys but exactly how do we measure the quality of the abovementioned engine oil ? Good engine oil = more powerful car? Sorry I'm just curious.

Hello sb3,

Hope this link might help you to find the answer: Opie Oils Technical Info

Refer to: Comparing technical specifications

Refer to: A word of caution - you get what you pay for! (This article is something that all car owners should read and understand before buying oil )

Few other section also might guide me/you/others to choose.

Good engine oil = more powerful car? (It doesn't make the car powerful, just optimize the machine to work at optimum range)
