Ok i am going to do an oil change today and i just want to know what is the best oil i can buy from a auto parts store, please just tell me instead of telling me look for a different thread just tell me and i will be on my way thanks

Castrol GTX 20-50 For dino oil.

Redline or Amsoil for synthetic.

I suggest running dino oil. But read up on synthetic and rotaries if you want to make the switch.

if you can get royal purple go for it, I know some of the RRDI guys like to run it.

If you run premix, go with synthetic Mobile 1.

Otherwise, Castrol GTX 20-50.

^+1 on the castrol GTX. Make sure you use a factory filter

ya i got the castrol gtx 10w-30 so ya. and i got the napa oil filter so i think it will be good. but when i did it i saw a lot of metal shavings in the oil pan and i think that is from the apex seals and rotor housings doesn't look to good tro me in search of a s5 na engine, myn is old anyway

If you didn't have your apex seals, things would be much worse. Might be old oil, a bad oil filter last time or some engine problem like you say. I agree with the 10w-30 Castrol GTX, btw. Royal Purple is great too.

Awesome...Another oil topic that contains the same stuff as the 9,378,439 oil topics that already exist. For future reference, a simple search for "oil recommendations" would have turned up the info immediately instead of waiting for someone to respond to the thread...

With that said, I buy whatever oil is on sale.
