Neo Synthetic Oil?
http://www.neosyntheticoil.com/
I'm considering carrying this in the shop, has anyone had any experience with this?
I did a search and saw that only one member (in Australia, no less) is using this stuff.
I've heard of and used Royal Purple and Redline, but never this stuff.

I've read that you are not supposed to use synthetics, as at best they don't do any good (ie; Honda Manual) or at worse can damage the engine.
Never seen anything I found conclusive one way or the other...

I've switched to synthetic at the first oil change of every new honda I've bought. I can't say I noticed a performance -increase-, but certainly not a decrease. I've never had a problem with any of them, either on the track or the street. I guess that's a mark of good oil in and of itself.
Cheers,
Ben

In my use it would be a real stretch to think I would benefit from a more expensive formulation, in fact it would probably be difficult to prove there is a benefit at all. I would not spend the money but there is a market or RL, RP, et al would not be in business.

It's only anecdotal, of course, but 115,000 miles on my big old cast iron V8 and it's still got plenty of guts as of just an hour ago. Mobil 1 for me changed every 5k.

Richard,
They gave a pretty good sales presentation at their lil meet. I didn't end up purchasing any though. They were sayin how this is pure synthetic oil as opposed to Mobil 1 not bein pure. I'll stick with Mobil 1 for now.
