I know Castrol Syntec is usually cheaper than Mobil here. I used to use Mobil 1 synthetic and it was a huge difference in smoothness over "dinosaur oil". Now I put in Castrol Syntec just because its cheaper, and the bottle is a little easier to pour.
 Really any synthetic is great, but if you can afford it get Royal Purple. Its supposedly lightyears beyond anything that petroleum companies selling synthetics are making....much more durable and protective. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
