Oil?

NO NO NO E-Z-GO! · 07-24-2007, 01:10 PM

I'm curious as to what brand/type of oil everyone runs in their cart.

For my personal cart, I use Castrol SYNTEC. For my business, I use Castrol GTX. I would use SYNTEC in my customer's carts also, but I just can't justify paying so much for it. They don't even know the difference, so explaining doesn't help.

When I first started business, I used Valvoline. Which is good oil, but is $$$. Then I got some Coastal which is cheaper, but people like seeing a name-brand going into their cart.

Just post what you use in your cart please.

And Matt, Jergens isn't motor oil.

I just bought a gallon of GTX right before I posted this. I wanted to see what everyone said for next time.

I priced Mobil1, but I don't think I can justify the cost of it for my business. I'd have to raise my prices to keep up with that.

I may convert to FormulaShell since a family member of mine works for Shell... and I could get a discount.

I always use Castrol GTX for all my engines-mowers, cars, trucks, 4 wheelers

Not sure how to tell whats the best, but never had a engine fail using it.
