Oh, you guys know I just HAVE to reply. Only Redline, some Amsoils, and some Motuls are TRUE synthetic oils. EVERYTHING else is just dino oil being marketed to you as synthetic - what a FARCE. And only group: V is the good one. So, no one runs the REAL good stuff except a couple guys here who run Motul 300v. Man, try some group V stuff if you want to see what a real synth does, Otherwize you are just paying for 'premium' mineral oil - which is what all API SM should be anyway.

ps: HA, see I didnt mention that, according to Ashland, Mobil-1 5W-30 doesnt even meet the current american petroleum institute standards and causes excessive valvetrain wear on cold starts - I AM getting better
