What oil brand should I use-synthetic or not? Castrol? Helllppp!  HappyKillMore Post by HappyKillMore » Thu Dec 16, 2004 9:55 am Your owner's manual will tell you what the factory thinks you should use. You won't go wrong using exactly what they tell you. Texas doesn't get that cold, but it does get pretty hot, so I stick with 10W-30 in mine. I use nothing but Mobil1 synthetic, even though this beast wants 7 quarts of it. I have an uncle in Ohio who does a lot of drag racing and swears by Mobil1. I've had no problems with it. If you decide to try it, and if you've never bought synthetic before, be prepared for some sticker shock.

If you have to run 5-20 oil in a motor and you don't live in Antarctica ,I'd say there was somrthing wrong with it.
