Hello,
I'm using 15-50 Mobil 1 sythentic for my Lotus Elan. It seems to work
really well, but I have a severe oil burning issue. I need to top up every
so often. I know it's normal for an old engine like mine to have this
problem. But I heard that from my friend, who is road racing a acura
integra, had the same problem too. So, I was thinking whether I should
change to other brands. I heard that Motul is a good engine oil? Did
anyone tried this brand? Any comments on Motul or any other brands that
seem to work well?
