    ive always used Mobil1 and it usually runs $70-80 for a case of 6
    and the oil filters are special ordered and around $15-25 so this just seems like a good deal, just wondering if anyones tried it.
    i know my neighbor tried it on his testarossa and the ferarri rejected it so he drained it the same day, ive always been curious how the 202 would react
    and i race everyday wichi its a substitute for coffee everymorning on the way to school

    if you have a high performance engine that takes 101 octane i would understand... but a 280 isnt really built for a race... penzoil would do or castrol or mobil...

    Run Mobil1 5W-30 and a fleece filter. No need to get fancy with the M104's - The oil change intervals are every 7,500 miles anyways.

    It's a compound of mostly mineral oil that you'd normally dump into the crankcase to "clean."

    I run Amsoil 10w40 (winter) or 20w-50 (summer) in my C36, I change it every 12-14k miles, depending on how long I procrastinate it haha.
