Castrol Syntec the 20/50 Blend (grey bottle) ... not full synthetic, part synthetic. I have great success with this oil in my bike & both my RX's. My theroy is it will burn better than the full synthetics, but still it will give you some of the benifits of the synthetic oil. I change on every 3000 or less. Its also a little cheaper than the full synthetic. $2.50~ a quart around here.

Vegetable oils are excellent lubricants, are better than most dino oils, and 'performance wise' are comparable to synthetics without the toxicity of the current oils we all use.
Maybe one day when the country isn't ruled by oil corporations, we'll all use vegetable oil with the needed additives............
If anyone can locate the AMG2000, let me know where and how much.

What Subscription?
Dead: Interesting, I called our local Alternative Fuel distributor and he hadn't heard of it. He also can't carry it, due to his contract with CONOCO(his supplier of BioDiesel)

I have used Pennzoil for the past three oil changes, ( I am a new owner), but I think I like castrol. I used the pennziol because there was a special on it at Kragen. I am switching back to castrol now.

For all of you Castrol users, the dino juice Castrol is well accepted as a very good petrol oil. As good as anything you can buy. Great if you keep the OMP. As for synthetics, Castrol may not be worth the money. Fairly recently, Mobil sued Castrol for advertising as claiming to be fully synthetic but in reality they are not. Guess Mobil did the checking on this. Since this was not news to most of us and we are not sure who to believe on this subject, I think the extra money spent on Castrol may not be worth it. I am only sure of three oils that are fully synthetic, Amsoil, Red Line and Mobil 1. Red Line being most racers choice if they do not have an oil sponser. I am sure there are more (Penzoil, Quaker State, Royal Purple, bla bla bla) but I don't know for sure. I do know that Red Line is my choice as premix and engine oil because of their excellent reputation and track record. It is expensive but my car is not a daily driver. Since you always get what you pay for, my expensive engine gets expensive oil which I believe is cheap insurance.

For anyone who rebuilds engines or has a parts washer, biodiesel can be used in place of all those toxic chemicals. It won't cause future health issues if accidently spilled or inhaled. And, it can be spilled in the yard or dumped down the drain. It will break down quickly. Biodiesel solvent is a product that big chemical companies don't want us to know about. They would rather have us buy toxic solvents, brake parts cleaner, carb/intake cleaner, distillates, etc....
It may also be labelled as biosolvent, or methyl/ethyl esters depending on area.
Is there anyone in/near "Eads Colorado" who can help me locate a source for this motor oil? My RX-7 wants to be an enviro guinea pig. I want a couple cases and not a 55gallon drum(for now).

I use Castrol
I have and always will use Castrol GTX 10w30. I was thinking of running 20w50 but couldn't really see much benefit from doing that, at least not in our climate.
I also hear that it is better for the seals to use the same oil on them all the time. (Brand / Weight ). (Fact or Myth? Who knows, makes sense though.)

BTW, I'm not running it any more. When I installed the 20B, I went to straight premix... but I never had a problem with it, and I may go back to using it if the premix becomes a hassle.

Others say that its just fine, since regular oil leaves deposits as well.
Now, if you have removed your OMP and injectors, then you are no longer injecting motor oil into the engine. Now the pre-mix takes care of the internal lubrication of the seals. Then I personally would (and do) use synthetic. It dissipates heat better and provides better lubrication.
