Which company of oil is used in Sports Car?

[Oldbearcat]

Jaguar used to recommend Castrol. Mercedes Benz uses Mobil 1. Don't know what BMW is using now.

Mobile 1 is a legit oil for high perf engines. If the engine is old, full syntetic might not be the best though, it will leak oil because of the thinness of the oil and shrinking gaskets. might be able to add an oil conditioner to mobile 1 to help with this though.

I've been running Castrol High Mileage oil in my 65 year old Chevy engine. The stuff is a semi synthetic with seal conditioners. Seems to minimize the seal leakage pretty well on my antique car.

Thanks to all for your suggestion.

I've heard great things about the SAE 10W-40 Synthetic High Performance Motor Oil from AMSOIL - works in both gasoline and diesel engines, good high viscosity oil, handles the most severe automotive driving conditions. It sells for about $7/quart.

That Amsoil 10W - 40 stuff won't work in any of my 3 cars - doesn't meet manufacturer's requirements for them.

My Mercedes requires 0W-40 oil. Only brand that I can find locally is Mobil 1. Same goes for my Honda, which uses 0W - 20. I have to either get oil from the Honda dealer, or, use Mobil 1. The Castrol stuff goes in my 1948 Chevy.

There are many oil manufacturing companies available for sports car but as per my research knowledge most of the car racers use Mobil 1 and Royal Purple brand for their sports car because these are best but you have to spend more money on them as they are branded.
