What are the real differences between Mobil 1 15W-50 and V-Twin 20W-50. I saw that advance has the V-Twin on sale. My application is a twin turbocharged carbureted BBC with a flat tappet hydraulic cam. Is there a better fully synthetic oil out there that is a little cheaper. It kinda stings when I think that a full oil change is going to cost me $180.00 a couple times a year. If I have to I will. I know the price to play, just trying to lessen the sting!!!
You would have to do an elemental analysis on both oils when new.
With a flat tappet cam, I would run as much zinc as I could.
Is there a reason why you want to use a synthetic? There are some real good petroleum and petroleum/synthetic blends with high zinc levels.
Don't worry about using a motorcycle il in your car or boat, I have been doing it for 25+ years.
