Just wondering what kind of oil and oil filter everyone is using. I use Royal Purple oil, and a Purolator Pure-One filter. And I use Royal Purple gear oil also.

Castrol GTX
Nippon oem filter

and when i get my 5-speed in and going I will probably use Redline fluid

carquest oil filter
quaker state higher milage oil

Carquest huh ? i didnt know they had there own brand name of filters... how much do those run ya ?

Nope! They still suck.

castrol syntec as well, and filter... i dunno some generic brand i persume.

Castrol GTX HIgh Mileage.
Canadian Tire "Special" Oil Filter. (Exact same filter as the FRAM filter, just rebadged.)

Mobil 1 10x30
Amsoil bypass filter and Fram for the standard filter

10W30 Castrol Syntec. Not sure of the filter tho...

10W/30 oil no particular brand, depends on what is on sale, cheapest oil filter from Wal-Mart. Work great!!!!

i use a mazda oil filter
and i use castrol gtx 10w-30 oil

STP filters if i can find them. Otherwise i use purolator or super tech (walmart).

Oil-wise I use mobil 1 tri-synthetic, good additives to keep build-up from forming & high heat tolerances.

I find it odd that everyone dumps so much money into their engine on performance stuff. But feel the need to get the cheapest oil available. Maybe thats just me though.
