Mobil 1 5W-30 full synthetic here as well.

Royal purple 5w30 - mostly as I have a buddy who's a rep and it's like $35/5qt from him.

Honestly, if the oil meets the specifications as described in your Owner's Manual, you cannot go wrong with any brand. If you own a SlingShot with the GM engine, any 5W-30 dexos 1 approved engine oil will provide proper service. For your SlingShots with the Polaris engine you will need to consult your appropriate Owner's Manual. In this day and age, to say one oil that meets minimum specification is better than another is mostly driven by personal opinion only. I usually purchase whatever is on sale.

If you have a 15-19 year model then Mobil 1 5W 30 is great. Walmart has it cheaper than anyone else in the 5 Qt size. For a 20 it requires 5W 50, NAPA stocks this oil, it is a little hard to find.

Used oil is best. Brand doesn't matter.

Based on results from this guy - https://540ratblog.wordpress.com/, I use Valvoline 5W-30. I recently started using Valvoline High Mileage since I now have over 62,000 miles.
Seriously, though, any oil will work as long as it meets the required standards.

Darn right. Not only is it cheaper, but it has proven itself under pressure. What do you want in your engine, battle hardened veteran oil, or unproven apprentice oil?

I use Deep Purple
Tried it once. It left smoke in the header and fire in the pipe. Swiss time was running out it made me lose the race. When it all was over I had to find a place to stay.

Sling is fine. I actually use the oil recommended as in the owners manual. Slingshot SS-4 Full Synthetic 5W-30. Just using a parity of the Deep Purple song. Smoke on the Water. It is expensive but when I can I like to support the local dealer in exchange for their services. I want them to be around when I need them.

Don't you mean smoke on the water and fire in the sky? 😉

Yep, just fitting it to the song and deep purple being used in the sling. Oil blow by in the exhaust. smoke, fire, header, race (although not a race in that sense), blown engine leaving stranded with no place to stay.

Yeah, that dawned on me after I said that. It's late and I'm always a little slower at night... lol
