Topic: best synthetic oil?

[04gtbay]

who makes the better oil, Mobil One or Royal Purple?

[Soaring]

The past tests have shown a slight edge given to Royal Purple and Redline over Mobil 1, but certainly not enough to pay the high prices that Royal Purple and Redline charges.  You can also get Mobil 1 at any Walmart store that has car stuff.  I ran Royal Purple for a few years, but then changed to Mobil 1 and and have seen no difference in the amount of miles I can drive without an oil change.  I guess if you race your car, Royal Purple might give you an edge, but I don't know why.

Not a problem.  There are also a lot of oil filters out there for you to choose from too.  Many tests have been done, and due to the relatively cost efficiency of the Motorcraft filers that rate right up there with the expnsive ones, my suggestion is that you use a Motorcraft filter too.  BTW, you can get those at wally world too.

I always use RP with a K&N oil filter. Works fine and feels good using synthetic oil.
Remember tho,  good oil needs a GOOD filter!
