What is the Best Oil
I just got my self a 240sx 1995 and it need oil change, I was wondering what is the best oil to use for this car and why?
The car has 106k and I bought it to learn how to drift. I Had Civic SI before sold that **** now want to get in to the drifting.

I've always used regular valvoline. In my LS1, I use the factory mobile1 syn. In my drag racing days we used Torco Synthetic 20W50 but I wouldn't use that in your drifter mobiles (too thick for stock clearances).
Seriously, your not going to notice a hp difference with the spendy oil. You just might make you engine last longer at high rpms and high boost levels. I'd be more concerned with proper oil pressure and bearing clearances (if your building a new engine.) My $0.02.

I use castrol synthetic.... seems to work fine for me and its not too expensive.... Also, you pretty much just drain what you can and then pour in the synthetic, by the time you change the oil again you wont have much if any of the non synthetic oil left in your engine
