I run Mobil 1, they are the founding father's of Synthetic Motor Oil, I would also recommend using Valvoline since if your motor blows they give money towards the purchase of new one.

I wouldn't use any other. Mobil 1 and Valvoline are the only two oil Companies with a test and research lab.

What separates the two, is beyond my knowledge but I forgot when I took my OIL class, that the oil is tested under certain conditions, there is no leader in the pack b/c if you go with more towards A then B is sacrificed vice versa.

Like most of the people here, I run Mobile1 Synthetic and Lucas Oil Stabilizer in all my vehicles.

I usually run Seafoam for 1 oil change (3,000 miles) 2 or 3 times a year. A friend of mine called Seafoam and personally spoke with the inventor (Fred), and was told that using Seafoam for a full oil change is actually recommended. Fred actually uses Seafoam in all his personal vehicles every oil change.

Mobil 1 is pretty much all I use, but have heard good things about Castrol Edge and Amsoil. I may try one of those or something else one day, but Mobil 1 has always seemed to work great for me so why bother. I buy it on sale and sometimes stock it up so it's not an issue. Friend of mine swears by Valvoline, claimed he had lifter tick and it went away once he switched to it. Before that he had tried Mobil 1 and Quaker State.
