I noticed something interesting/odd--'interestingly odd?'--the other day
at 'my' Costco: They no longer carried any non-synthetic oil besides
Shell Rotella. Along with the usual Mobil 1, they offered 'Kirkland
Synthetic' in the lighter grades (0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30, 10W30).
There may come a day we can no longer get plain 'dino' oil, esp. in the
lighter grades.

Iâ??ve been running Brad Penn Green 30w for 10-12 years in my BN7
with no apparent issue. I understand the ZDDP has been
reduced/removed from it in recent years but I am still using up
inventory. I only run 2000 miles or so a year ( including a few
track laps) but change it every other year or two.Â
<div>I have a variety of other cars, air cooled, water cooled and
tracked all of which use Mobil 1 synthetic of various grades
except the wifeâ??s Lexus which gets dealer bulk whatever. Have
thought about trying Mobil 1 on the Healey but increased leak
risks prevent me from doing that yet.</div>
<div>I always change filters on every oil change and open to
inspect Them. Last year I found plastic and shavings in my track
car oil filter so had new IMS and RMS replaced, (just in time at
