Currently I'm using Mobil1 Synthetic 5w30 with a Purolator PureOne filter.

My next oil change I will be switching to Red Line 5w20 with Mobil1 Oil Filters (M-104). That's in about 4k miles and I will stay with this config going forward.....

I'm using Mobil1 Synthetic with a Valvoline oil filter which I am sure sucks.

I'll be switching to a Mobil1 filter in about 2k miles.

Redline is very expensive compared to Mobil 1. Where can I find it locally, nowhere
Royal purple same story too....

Mobil 1 is good enough. Redline may help if you are racing to much.

I ma using now Mobil1 5-30 with Purolator Pureone.
