Exclamation ULTIMATE SYN OIL SHOWDOWN
Let's do this mob-rule style. I have a 2003 (AP1) and would like to decide on Mobile 1 or another. I hear a lot of people poo-pooing it.

If you need more options, let me know and I'll add them if I can. Please elaborate your reasoning in your post below!

There was a complete lab test done by someone on here a few years back. Castrol syntec, mobil 1, valvoline syn, royal purple, redline, etc and the one that came out on top was castrol syntec. That is what ive been using since 1000 miles on the car and been turbo since 3000 miles. The car now has 13500 miles on it and i have never lost a drop of oil or had any problems with it, even pushing 600 whp.

Amsoil. There is something to be said about a company who does so well they don't need to mass market advertise.
