What is the best engine oil?

Question

What is the best engine oil for Ford escort 1999

Answer 1

i use Castrol GTX full synthetic (on my high mileage or old vehicles) just tell them you want the full synthetic

Answer 2

Lol, castrols for small engines, thats one old, old timers myth...

I'd go for any good name brand.... havoline, pennzoil, castrol, exxon or mobil will be fine....
If its not burning oil, no need for a heavier weight... but a high mileage oil is not out of the question....

Also keep in mind,.... any synthetic can be mixed or exchanged back and fourth with conventional... this is another myth that you must stick with either/or.

If it gets real cold there.... say down in the teens, I'd use a 5w-30 and 10w-30 in the summer... stick with wix, or purolater oil filters..... never touch a orange can.... they are cheaply made and overpriced.

Answer 3

hay, the best engine oil is the oil that along with the oil filter get changed at regular intervals(castrol gtx & fram filters) get my vote

Answer 4

5w 50w castrol sync.Never a Fram filter. Purolator or Pure one has a anti drain back valve.

Answer 5

With out hesitation Mobil One synthetic. Bear in mind that once you change to a synthetic you will always have to use a synthetic and can not change back to conventional oil. The synthetic oil costs more to make and therefor it costs more to use it in your car but with Mobil One you will only have to change your oil every 10,000 - 15,000 miles!

Answer 6

whatever the cap or book says for weight . i like castrol GTX myself for brand but its all personal preferance

Answer 7

I use Valvoline max life...... for cars with over 75K....10W40..... Castro is suppoded to be for smaller engines.... get something with a brand name..... and 10W40
