Hello all,
Newb here on the forum. I have trolled it for a while and there is ALOT of stuff on here.
I want to try to simplify this without going overboard into info that really is beyond what i need lol.
I own a newer challenger that has a forged motor with a supercharger. i have wondered for a while about oils and what and how to look for. I see alot of what most call boutique oils out there
royal purples, driven, amsoil, ect.
my car when built called out for mobil 0w40.
one thing i notice on this oil was that it gets dirty very quick. that may not be a big deal but it bugs me..
i tried ( by a reccomendation ) shell rotella 5w40 and it seams to run alot cleaner.
this motor burns some oil ( no smoke ) but i have a wider ring pack for the supercharger and i think that plays into things.
SO my questions.
i read alot about moly and zdp being a big deal for oils and how important it is in performance engines more so over daily driver cars. is these oils like driven, amsoil ect better than the rest?
is oils like shell rotella ok to use?
i have looked at DT 40 from driven to try. amsoil 10w40 standard synthetics. and have looked at liquid moly as well as motul.. motul I have no clue what they would reccomend as there are a bunch of different varatious.
I also hear that RACING OILS have better properties than of the shelf oils and they don't have a api label due to harder on cat's for the exhaust ( I DON'T HAVE ANY CATS FYI )
i try not to get wrapped up in this stuff. just looking for a quality product that will help with bearing wear and maybe help slow the oil burning.
thanks for your help
