I have always been a mobile 1 user. I have changed that though, today.

after doing some research i have found that Pennzoil Platinum is cheaper and seems to have a lower viscosity at cold temperatures (i live in alaska) than mobile 1. i was going to use Valvoline SynPower, but that was a dollar a quart more for similar performance.

bought 4 quarts and a mobile filter for 26$ at walmart, and changed today.

bah.... after doing more reading. both synpower and pennzoil platinum are group 3. as are castrol (made in usa, german is group 4) and even some M1 products are group 3. in 3K miles im switching again to Amsoil (a true group 4 PAO), there are dealers local to me so i can get a case for 120$ or so.
