What synthetic oil you use and why?
#5
Mobil 1 and Eneos if i stumble upon some extra pocket change. ive also never heard anything bad about their oil just that their filters may be a bit overpriced. eneos is a supplier in F1 so i assumed that they knew how to formulate a good synthetic. but they are quite expensive and hard to find in the regular spots (kragen, autozone etc). the closest dealer in my area is like 20 miles away..

Haven't used synthetic yet, but on my next oil change I will be using Pennzoil Platinum 0w-20.
Go to bobistheoilguy.com (in the forums) & you will see it is a great oil for the price. UOA (used oil analysis) show that it is a better product than Mobil 1.
If you want the best of the best, AMSOIL is what you want to get.

Why do I use this..... easy to purchase at Walmart (open 24 hours) with a good price.

i'm currently running mobile 1 0-30 and it's great. my engine had some noise before but once i've changed it to mobile 1 it got really quiet and i actually got better mpg, +2 - +6 depending on how i drive. highly recommended and i got it at walmart, 5qrt for $20 great deal and i went back and got more.

i usually use Quaker State Horsepower with moble one filter but last oilchange i used Mobile 1 Extended Performance because i moved again and now im an hour and 60 miles each way away from work and school so i figured it would help a little more, plus im getting up there in miles and its only getting worse (i average 1000 miles a week now )
