Re: opinion on best oil for mild street motor

oh no not again on oil. buy a name brand and change it when needed. if you are going to be driving it all the time then i do mine every 3000 miles or every 3 months whichever occurs first.

Agreed. My OCI's are 5k miles, but that's just personal preference.
