yankeesking · Post by **yankeesking** » Mon Mar 26, 2007 7:31 pm

Hi there, I searched and look around, I couldn't find it, I apologize if it's repost.

I look for good brand oils for my 2000 neon. It has about est. 110k miles.

during winter, dude at walmart tube shop, he said 30w is good for winter. I use Walmart oil, u know how they usually have.

what kind do you use? thanks for your time

stick with any 5w30 oil, take your pick and it will work for you. supertech is cheap and effective.

I use Castrol GTX 5w30 all the time, you could probably use 10w30 in summer but I just keep it the same all year round.

i use castrol gtx also....no complaints....i like it better than mobil 1....mobil 1 makes the engine way too noisy

Post by **racer12306** » Tue Mar 27, 2007 10:13 pm

the noise is probably the biggest complaint in all the reading i have done about mobil 1.

After reading the Royal Purple thread, I expected a lot of people to use that. I'm not sure whats in my car now, as it's practically new, but I plan on switching to Royal Purple on my next oil change.

I used the Mobile 1 not only did I get alot of noise, but it burn away quickly (never had the conventional oil burn away either before I tried the Mobile 1)... Switched to Redline and it got quiet and never burn away...

When I do my engine swap I'm going to try Royal Purpal (cause its $2/qt less at Summit).

5W-30 in a neon is just fine. Any SM GF-4 rated oil will easily go 3K miles and protect just fine. As for a convenient filter to get I'd stay away from Fram (another discussion) and if you can get super-tech for the Neon OK, but I really liked the Motorcraft FL-300 as it ups the capacity to 5 full quarts. More oil is better. Got fantastic Used Oil Analysis from Havoline 10W-30 last winter (Accidentally bought the wrong oil, wanted 5W-30) and as far as Mobil1 or Royal Purple from Walmart, Mobil seems to have better UOA results believe it or not.

Redline is great after a couple of Oil Change Intervals if you watch the UOA of the first couple you may cry. But it settles down to almost nothing. If you drive really hard like track days at a road course then this stuff is for you.

Pennzoil Platinum is good on up to 7-10K intervals.

What am I using, started on Amsoil myself. They have, as test by a Lubrication Engineer to verify his suspicions, the best filter out right now. Also use their oil currently 5W-30.

Lol yes the platnum is but its thier new stuff its only been out a year or so. I didn't want someone saying i couldn't have gotten the platnum in 2001 cause it didn't exist.

Sorry I deal with anal retentive board nazis at other places so I keep my answers very narrow.
