raistlin Regular Registered: July 2002	Re: Oils aint oils.......... Sun, 07 July 2002 05:20 Hearing you guys talk about warming the car up AQAP by driving at >3000 rpm I get shudders. You're nuts is all i have to say. When you start your car you shouldn't rev it above 3000 rpm until it's warmed up properly or you're likely to cause some major damage. What sort of oil you use depends on the condition of your engine. After a fresh rebuild you should run a "running in oil"(get it at super cheap auto or some other cheap car parts place) for at least the first 500k. Then change the oil filter because it will have shit in it from the wearing in of the contacting parts of your engine after the running in. The idea is to NOT lubricate your car well the first time so it all wears into place. And you DO NOT thrash your car, you drive it neatly through the rev ranges and not too high. After the 500km change the filter as i said and put in a semi synthetic for about the next 1000km. This will protect your engine a bit more while still allowing some wearing in. After this depending on your engine and the quality of the rebuild I'd change the filter and run something like mobil 1 or amsoil. I'm gonna be running amsoil 0 30. I'm running an 18R-GEU. The reason I'm running amsoil is because it's a f*cken good quality oil and only needs to be changed every 20,000km or so(and because i have 5L of it for free ). A filter every 5000km of course. You can't have an oil lubricating "too well" that's what it's there for, to lubricate!!! The only reason you'd have probs is on an old engine which has probs with rings(or other stuff) or one which hasn't been run in properly. If you're blowing smoke(the blue colored stuff) you're getting oil past the rings so you need to go a little thicker. If not, run as thin as possible unless your engine asks for something specific or is old and shitty as i said. Disclaimer: This is what I'm doing to my car and if anything happens to yours by relying on this it's not my fault. The ultimate responsibility lies with you. EDIT: On being told by a reader below I re-read the pst above which frist shocked me. Sorry, i misread < as >... I take it back you're all nuts but not for revving cars too high when cold...
