    Will publish the results to the group. So far, we are about evenly split
    between synthetics and conventional oils. What is your favorite? >>

    >>>For no particular reason, I use Castrol GTX 10W40 or 20W50. I run my car

    pretty hard (hours at over 100 mph) but have a nice oil cooler to keep temps
    under control.

    At least, I THINK they are under control because I don't have an oil temp
    gauge. :>)

    I change about every 3000 miles or so.

    Come to think of it, my previous two oil changes were with Elf (hey, it was
    in France, that's the best I could do) and more recently, Castrol GTX, but I
    can't remember the weight--it may have been 10W30. Again, it's a Europe-only
    thing.

    Just filled the 427 Cobra up with 10W40, and about to take it for a spin
    since it's 82 degrees and sunny here in Northern California. :>)
