If we are comparing wear protection then Mobil 1 loses hard. Castrol Syntec has 8 times advertised wear protection, while my boys at Valvoline market 4 times the protection (supposedly upwards of 8, but they chose the lowest denominator for marketing purposes, dont wanna get sued now)

Back in the day M1 was pretty much king shit, now-a-days there are far better alternatives. M1 just has the name going for them. Makes the dumb majority of car buyers feel special.
