I use Mobile-1. Why? I guess I've always held it to be the standard among synthetic engine oils. I'd certainly switch to another synthetic brand if it were that much better.

I usually use Mobil1 but due to extreme cold i got my mechanic to change the oil and he used a product called Lubri/liqui Moly http://www.techmax.ca/lubri.htm. Same price as Mobil1 and seems to work just fine on my 01 Echo.

I use Royal Purple because the hillbillies that live amongst me swear by it and if there is one thing I know it is that hillbillies love their engines. Doesn't hurt that its a track staple around here, too.

I'd buy Amsoil if it were more readily available through retail outlets.

BTW, wth is Vavloline? Are you trying to piss off SilkySmooth?

Well, then you need to remove one of the options you have there because I know several YW members use Amsoil.
