whats the best MTF, GM syncromesh, Royal Purple, or Amsoil?

jboogie183 · 02-25-2007, 09:54 PM

I've heard Amsoil is the best. I plan on giving it a shot pretty soon...

nofd1977 · 02-25-2007, 11:20 PM

Redline full syntec baby!

Tis true, less friction equals less heat, duh.

My 72 Torino 351CJ-4V runs cooler since I ran Royal Purple. :)

I think any of the major manufacture's Synthetic Line will work.

There were questions regarding the stock used in Castrol Syntec's 5w-30/40 oils.
