As far as which brand I like and use Valvoline oil based non synthetics oils, maybe VR1 with higher valve spring pressure for solid roller cams Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

My recent experience: factory calls for 10W30 (Toyota factory turbo engine), gets used in cools temps and 250 hp over the original engine, last change used 5W40. Feels the same, except... the hot idle speed is down slightly - takes extra power to churn through that 40. Boffin Emeritus

The last time I look at a good globe the only part of Canada that is further south than central Oregon is near Detroit Is that one of the densest population centers in Canada Isn't Toronto and Quebec further north than Bend, OR?

He has a blog to ask questions and has ranking of all the popular oils put to his test. Amzoil 5w-30 Signature series is his highest ever ranking oil ever..But M-1 0w-40 Full Synthetic is right behind it. He runs 800 HP motors and his oil of choice is QS 5w-30 FS because it holds it values at higher temps. Anyway, good read and take it for what you get out of it.

His testing is a joke. His results are a joke. Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

I have used Brad Penn (now Penn Grade 1) for many years. The 20W-50 is in my street/strip car since the oil gets hot driving on the street. I have been using 10W-30 in my drag race cars for years. A local supplier sells a case of 12 for $75. IMO, Mobil VR-1 is just fine. 1993 Daytona, 5.50 at 130mph (1/8) 1.19 sixty ft (PG). Link to 572 B1 - Part 1
