I use Castrol Syntec 5w-30.

I'm thinking about changing to Mobil 1 or Amsoil. It seems that Mobil 1 is the only company that has the grade that the car manual wants.

What do you guys think I should go with?

BTW, Mobil is coming out with a new syn oil called M1R as in Racing! It will be a 0W-30 with an extra additive package that makes it unlike anything else on market. Some NASCAR teams have reportedly been using it with tremendous results.

It will be made specifically for people who really push their cars hard whether it is DOHC VTECs, Porsche, BMW, Viper or anything of that ilk. It should be available in the next couple of months but price hasn't been anounced.


are you a sales rep for mobil? heh

SlvrLx26 will become famous soon enough
I buy my Royal Purple at the NAPA Warehouse here in ontario, Ca. Only place I've found it except for Autobacs, it's probably more expensive than the $5.00 a qt. at NAPA.

modoman,

I wish that I worked for them 'cuz I'd take advantage of the employee discount and share!

Unfortunately, I'm just Joe Schmoe who has to buy their oil like everyone else..

I'm very interested in this new oil and I think that it will perform very nicely in our cars especially where you see high ambient temps or are hard on the engine. I've heard that it will probably be about $8 qt but before people recoil in shock, it's about on par with any of the other boutique oils such as RL, RP or Amsoil.

SLvrLx26,

I haven't been to Autobacs but I saw an ad in the local paper. Yikes! Their prices are sky high!

An Optima battery cost a tad more than $100 at Costco but around $175 at Autobacs. Other examples abound.
