In Simon and Guys abscence and Stus knowledgable reply...i will say Mobil 1 motorsport 15 50.

Although to be fair if you oil change every 3k miles just stick Castrol GTX in

Nope...Mobil 1 will fuck your engine....as will Castrol GTX

The oil i specified will NOT Lubricate

Infact i recommend water

Silkolene ProS for me -
and yes I have tried Mobil1, Castrol RS, Valvoline Synpower...
the Silkolene holds pressure when it's hot nicely, including track abuse,

you're very welcome to swear all you like Phil... if it makes you feel good..
just because you swear by it doesn't make it the best...
I'm not claiming the ProS is "best", just relating my experience to allow people to make an informed decision
