This.

Sadly, my car is filthy. I ran it through a carwash, but that only does so much. I need to get it detailed once I get everything fixed; ie: motor mounts and control arm bushings. It has literally been "broken for a good three months.

By using Mobile 1 0W50 and not AMSOIL!. Preventative maintenance and a bucket of water does good as well...

Haters crazy
Maintience (oil change, brakes, common stuff) use good oil, use 91+ octane... Just because gas prices go up don't use 87! Most importantly drive it like ya stole it lol

Edit - Just noticed the OP's spam.

I use Mobil 1 oil. The weight depends on the season and condition. I live in Florida, so tend to go a bit heavier in the summer time.

I'm actually less likely to use Amsoil after reading this post.

Yeah I'll stick to the oil used in F cars, P cars, L Cars and AMG Cars for years.
