Valvoline VR1 20W50. High in zinc and relatively inexpensive. Readily available at A&A auto in Allentown. That's Joe Amato's of NHRA fame family business.

I've recently switched to the Kirkland Signature brand of canola/vegetable oil. For olive oil, however, I just end up getting whatever is on sale. To be honest, I don't go through much of it these days.

I switched from Brad Penn 20W50 to Valvoline VR1 20W50 racing and could not be happier. I also use Liqui Moly MoS2 (solid lubricant). Very low oil consumption, very quiet and smooth engine with lots of miles.

I have used VALVOLINE VR1 20W-50W turbo V in every one of my Porsches for the past 40 years.
No issues..........................I am a fan!

nothing wrong with Mobil one if its the 15w 50, its a decent oil. In fact all the ones mentioned are. just go with what you can get locally of the above at a decent price.
