[DeTomaso] oil choice

[Pantdino]

It is not possible to answer this question without knowing how you use the car.
How big is your sump?
Do you track the car or otherwise run it at high revs for long periods?
When you drive it, how and how long do you do so?

I used Castrol 20-50 in my cars for years and now feel that I probably caused unnecessary engine wear in doing so.
