Answer 2

Good brands of oil are Mobil, Castrol, best oil is synthetic such as Mobil 1. STP stands for scientifically treated petroleum, basically its a thick oil to treat old engines which burn oil. No reason you should ever put this stuff in a well running engine.

Answer 3

The word "good" is miss used here. Any oil with an API rating is good. American Petroleum Institute rates the oil on their grade. Name brands are best for everyday driving. Some full synthetics oils are too costly for most drivers. Read a owners manual on the car have and follow what it recommends. S.T.P. ? Is a brand name of oil additives and fuel system cleaners. It the magic of advertising , put a decal on a race car and watch who'll buy it!

Answer 4

Generally if you have a high-revving engine such as a midnight racer or motorcycle or a sports car where you keep the revs up throughout the curves; use Castrol.

Otherwise pennzoil is as good as they get in the standard brands of motor oil.

Always check your owners manual to see what your engine requires in the ratings category.
