I am beginning to think I am finally getting past the hype--you know stuff like this:

We took two identical cars, filled one with Castrol EDGE, and the other with Mobil 1 5W-30. Then we ran ‘em at maximum output: at 75 mph, carrying 1600 additional pounds up a 7% incline. Second gear. Pedal to the floor. For five straight days.
When it was over, the engine with Mobil 1 was a smoldering, beaten-down hunk of twisted metal. While the engine with Castrol EDGE roared on. In our extreme test of endurance, Castrol EDGE was stronger for longer than Mobil 1.

[gotta watch those "beaten-down hunks of twisted metal"][kind of sounds like the stuff you get from a company that kills people on rigs in the gulf and tries to avoid responsibility]

and the "what do the Formula One guys use?" and am leaning toward oils that are actually good for what I drive...of course, the sun may rise tomorrow and I will think, "I actually said THAT?"

If I had to pick, it would probably be Schaeffer oil. Like the oil, the company, and my local rep is an awesome down to earth guy.

Mobil I since it first became available in US in about 1976. It's been so long I can't exactly remember when I purchased the first quart. Not saying it is better than other products. It would take a very well designed, complicated test procedures to come up with what crankcase oil is best for gasoline engines. I personally don't think that can be done, or will be or needs to be done. Go with what works for you. When I was younger, I used to recommend Mobil I, but then I got to thinking about what I was doing and stopped recommending but only stating what worked for me. You pays your money, and you makes your choice..You can't really go wrong using any of the top tier motor oils of the required weight and designation.

I don't really have a favorite oil. I've yet to use one that didn't work well. It depends on my mood/price.

 

[Bud_One]

I like all the oils !!

 

[Durango]

Mobil 1 synthetic is the most easily available in my hood.

 

[Oregoonian]

Mobil 1 0w20 AFE.

Will continue to use it as it works well in my vehicle, but would consider TMGO 0w20 in the future, if I can find it near the price (WalMart) of M-1.
