Castrol GTX 20W50 Vs 5W30
 

Just wanted to post pics of my oil findings. So far I have 12K miles on the reman. I have been using 5W30 from the start. First Picture is my 3rd Oil change with 5W30 and the Second Picture is the 4th Oil Change with 20W50 And the Third Picture is a clean greddy magnetic oil drain plug. I'm glad I switched to 20W50 and it's staying that way for now on. And yes all that is metal :rofl:

dont forget that the presence of metals (or lack thereof) isn't the only thing that judges the quality of oil. Especially on these engines, water/coolant, and fuel contamination is something that would also be good information to have.

I'm Gonna use Conventional oil, And hopefully super soon i can get my SOHN adapter and run Synthetic oil and 2 stroke oil in the secondary reservoir. Had a friend tell me that Mobil 1 and other store bought oil Isn't "True" synthetic besides Royal Purple and other small companies. O.o

Your friend doesn't know WTF he is talking about.

Have him start is education on the subject here:

:wallbash:

sounds like your friend watches too much powerblock and their excessive royal purple marketing

lol ill tell him to read up on that link for sure. Oh I forgot to mention that I do 3000 Mile oil change intervals. What weight are you guys running? and Post pics of your secondary reservoir if you have one. So i can get an idea on the size of bottle i should run. :bowdown:

This would have been way more interesting if each came with a UOA.

Would of been Sweet if i got the first sample and this second sample. But now the oil got recycled I don't like to keep used oil in the garage clutters up the space. haha

... okie :lol:
