I own a 93 Dodge Dakota which is due for an oil change. I was wondering if there is a difference between castrol, pennzoil, and regular motor oil. Like are they all the same when it comes to giving an engine good performance and results?
I usually buy the advanceautoparts or autozone general motor oil.

For example i’m interested in the MOTUL 10W40 300V Chrono and/or 15W50 300V Competition , both fully-synthetic racing engine oils. http://www.motul.com.sg/product_line_up/4stroke/4stroke03.html
I mean , i know that they are good but i want to know why , because i can’t find more details.
Then i ask in using them in the BMW E34 M5 (~1988-1995) , the S38b38 old school racing engine (~1993-1995) (more details about it , here http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101028055449AAOHqgW )
From what i understand, the recommended factory oil at that time was a semi synthetic oil , 15W40/50 from Wintershal.But some say , being an M engine , it should use the Castrol‘s trademark oil the 10W60 TWS oil (used in today’s M engines ). But some say that this oil has done premature cam lobes wear on the s38 engine (something about being to thick for the full load engine oil temperature, only in track condition the 60 weight is said to be the best, for this engine). So i don’t want to take that risk.
I mean i think i’m ‘safe’ if i stay in factory recommended weight but also i want to take the advantages offered by today’s full synthetic oils. So that’s how i came up with those oils from Motul.Also the car beeing special to me , i want to take good care of it , especially the engine.
I don’t want to track the car, only long highway road trips, moderate climate conditions, to present running conditions.
So, a rebuilt engine (with stock specs & tolerances) , will either of those 2 options from Motul will ensure the engine correct requirements ?
Any imput is of great help.
Thank you.
Yes , one of the best articles around , written by a doctor from the US, specialised in blood thiners who also ones Ferraris , Lambos etc. I’ve read it several times. I’m also aware of that ~ 90% of the engine wear is done on ‘cold’ starts.
But i ask about the second weight of an oil for this particular engine. I woun’t use the car in winter driving so a 10 weight is enough and also this is a verry old school engine design (from the racing engine of the ’70, roots form the BMW E26 M1 car etc ) and the tolerances are "loose’ vs the Ferrari 550 from what the doctor used , which is a newer generation engine with ‘tight’-er tolerances, so a 5w or 0w in that car is perfect.

I have a 2000 Ford Police Interceptor with 75k miles and it due for an oil change. I was wondering what would be the best oil filter for it (without spending a fortune). How much does the Ford one cost? And what other brands are pretty good? I heard Fram and K&N are crap so I was considering Mobil 1 or ACDelco Oil Filters. Also, should I go with Quaker State 5w30 or get high mileage oil from another brand (Castrol, Mobil, etc.)? Definitely want synthetic. Well, thanks.

hi currently i’m using an YamahaFazer [FZ 16], i’ve done 2 services, but still confused which engine oil should i use?
i’m currently using Yamalube 15-50 SemiSyntheic,but still the engine heat is not reduced and i feel there is no change on changing to semi synthetic, is there any better choice than Yamalube?
is Synthetic Better than SemiSynthetic ? , please explain in detail wrt Engine heating and which one gives long life for engine?
suggest me a better brand name,there are lot of companies available, Motul,Petronas,ELF,Shell,Castrol….which one should i go for preferably Synthetic, and its cost?
