At least W2W did the testing, they are very reputable. The might have done it just to get free advertising though.

Eh i'd just stick with what the OEMs seem to use in their performane vehicles. Mobil Uno.

Don't trust that too much, a lot of it comes down to politics and kick-back dollars.

This is correct. They switched after they lost the lawsuit against Castrol Syntec. I believe this only applies to North American Mobil 1 though; I have heard that Australian Mobil 1 is great stuff.

I personally just run whatever synthetic is on sale the day I'm at the store. Except I never run Mobil 1.

Anyone else notice Walmart has a synthetic SuperTech now a days? I'm tempted to run it for a few thousand and send it in to be analyzed afterwards. Their conventional stuff isn't half bad.

Conventional SuperTech oil was Penzoil, then Quaker State (Penzoil owns Quaker State). I'm guessing the SuperTech synthetic is also Quaker State. The SuperTech filters are also a very good bargain; they are merely relabeled AC Delco, STP, and Bosch oil filters (Bosch does have a thicker case able to withstand higher oil pressures compared to the rest though). I have a feeling the Mobil 1 oil filter is identical to a Bosch.

My research awhile back showed that Supertech oil was different based on what region of the US you lived in. Supertech on the West Coast was not the same "copy" as it was on the East Coast, and so on.
