Valvoline XLD Classic works for me. I used to use Castrol's GP50>Formula R 25W50>Edge Sport 25W50 (all the same oil, different marketing) but when the price per can got silly I went to KMX 20W/50 and then Valvoline XLD Classic. All these oils maintain good pressure when hot even freeway running, without an oil cooler. Unlike Castrol GTX......

Sweet need something that can handle some moderalty hard driving and a lot of freeway driving. I'm on the freeway almost every time I drive it cos of where I live and my mechanic (father in law) lives 150km away. So plenty of 1.5 hrs trips at 90-100km/hr. |

I'm a big fan of Castrol edge 25w50. I have found it gives me better hot oil pressure at idle, plus oil usage is better than "other 20w50 oils" I've tried. It's just what I have found that works for me in my car. |
