I use valvoline synpower 10w30. The valvoline tests higher or equal to mobil 1 in every category except oxygen uptake (measure oxidization stability of an oil).
But it tested higher than mobil 1 in NOACK (how thick an oil becomes as it gets older), TBN (basically how long you can go between changes), and the four ball wear test (wear protection test). Those were more important to me than the oxygen uptake.
check out the oil journals FAQ located in Under the Hood > Technical Forums. there is a TON of info there, including this thread that gives you comparisons of 10w30 oils for our cars. http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.p...threadid=169852

Amsoil all the way. 0-30 series 2000 for me though. Only the best for my baby, My opinion anyway.
