I like AMSOIL myself. I have been using it in my daily drivers and my race cars for several years. I get about 2 MPG better that with other synthetics, and transmissions feel smoother. Also, when I change out the diff on the race car it doesnt smell burnt like the Mobil 1 used to.

Do they sell AMSOIL in local stores? I have heard really good things about that oil, but I can't find it anywhere...

my preference on oil? Extra virgin olive oil but it's so darn expensive

So, I get Walmart brand Canola or Wesson Vegetable oil.

For my vehicles, what ever 5 w 30 is on sale at Adv auto parts and that is for all of my 4 cycle engine vehicles and toys

The only reason I like synthetic is because I am really hard on the Bullet, and other oils seem to break down...
