I run mobil 1 synthetic oil in my car can i switch to a different brand of synthteic oil?

Answer 1

mobil 1 oil is definitely a very good choice in oil. but if you are dead set on changing brands i would recommend Amsoil. you can only purchase it from a dealer or online. i have studied the differences between it and mobil, amsoil will withstand more extreme circumstances. my entire family runs it in all their vehicles and weve never had an issue. including trans, engine, and differential. all of which were converted to Amsoil lubricating products. i also run it in my tractor, fourwheelers, and snowmobiles. it performs great in every application. the reason it isnt featured in nascar is because it is not a nationally recognized brand. and is only available through dealers. otherwise another good choice is royal purple.

Answer 2

I'd be interested to know what brand of synthetic you want to try next? There are only three brands who (claim) to be any better. As of now no one in NASCAR, The World of Outlaw Sprint Cars uses these so-called surperior oils.

No, it wouldn't hurt a thing as the other person said keep using your viscosity rating that's in your owners manual.

Please, don't tell me you fell for those asinine Castrol adds on TV. They do some mystery test that blows up a motor using "The best selling reguler oil". Of course they run this meaningless test using their synthetic oil. What's the point? They don't compare apples to apples. They don't explain the test procedure. It's nothing more than a (shock add).

Answer 3

Thats fine just make sure you keep the same viscosity and if you are using full synthetic or part synthetic stay with the same kind.

Answer 4

Shouldn't much matter what brand of synth oil as long as it's got the same ratings.

Answer 5

Yes. Just look for the closest viscosity grade and API Class SM or SL.
