You asked for the BEST: http://www.royalpurple.com/rpro/rpro.shtml I put rp's #11(5w20) Racing oil in at 4,000 miles. Now at 49,600 trouble-free miles.

Btw, here is the BEST oil filter too--IMHO: http://www.knfilters.com/oilfilter.htm p/n HP2010.

Too bad their fuel filters won't fit our Ls .

There is no best, just preferences. Use what you feel comfortable with whether it be dino or synthetic. Their are many successful stories for each. I prefer Chevron, but that's what I sell.
