Mobil 1 full synthetic is my favorite. Everybody has their own personal opinion on which synthetic is "better".

I've used Pennzoil, Castrol, and Mobil 1 and liked them all. There's Castrol HM in my Jeep while the Camaro has Pennzoil HM. It's getting switched for Castrol Edge when spring rolls around. Personally, I find the filter to be more important than the oil. Oil is strictly regulated while the filters not so much. A quality oil filter (K & N, Wix, Purolator PureOne, Bosch DP, Mobil 1) will do more good.

I run standard dino castrol gtx 10w30 in the race car, although it gets changed basically every other race.

Synthetic oils are an absolute PAIN in the *** to clean off the track should something ever happen, most drag cars you see will be running a dino oil because of that

I think Tommy Morrison would disagree.
heard him say when things break it was because someone didn't pay attention to the details. And his cars were plenty fast.

He even built me a bullet proof rear end for my Corvette.


As for the original subject, I like Mobil 1. as said it's pretty much a persoanl preference.
