I like the t6

I think the T6 is what the plain "T" used to be, at least around here. The "T" (used to be 5w-40 full synthetic) became the conventional oil and the full sythetic became labeled T6. Same in other markets?

Yeah that is what they did I just always refer to it as "T" because of how long I have been using it in different things.

Pennzoil 10w-30 or 5w-30 depends on the time of year

Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 10W30. It's amazing, car runs quiet, smooth, and it lasts seemingly forever.

Mobil 1 10-30 in the motor and redline in the drivetrain. Going to switch to 10-40 next change withthe heat here unless the temps drop.

Mobil1 isn't true synthetic ;) read up on it. True synthetics are RedLine, Royal Purple, AMS Oil, Motul and Rotella, to name a few.



I run Rotella synthetic. Never had a problem.

Good to know

Engine: Castrol Edge 5w-30
Transmission: Amsoil MTF
Differential: Amsoil Severe Gear 75w-90 or 75w-110

There's a guy that tracks in our area than ran a Blackstone Laboratories report on Rotella and it came back with excellent results and minimal wear. Same as my Amsoil report.
