Default engine oil

Some good basic oil info: http://www.thumperfaq.com/oil.htm

First off, the synthetics have huge advantages over old fashion petroleum oils. There are 3 types of synthetics: Group III (Rotella), Groupl IV (PAO's like Mobil 1 and Amsoil), and Group V (ester synthetics like Maxima Extra and Motul 300V). Of the synthetics, the group V esters have some definite advantages over the other two types. http://www.maximausa.com/technical/l...beNews2002.pdf

So, after years of searching for the best oil (I am a biochemist), I come up with Maxima Extra, ester synthetic. http://www.maximausa.com/products/4s...synthextra.asp
