on a bmw 335i 10hp gain
You'd be lucky if your butt dyno could detect a 10HP difference, much less a 4HP difference

A dyno difference of 4hp can be attributed to many things (humidity, temp, etc) other than a different brand of oil.

If you're paying 10 bucks a quart, you may as well get some real stuff like amsoil

These HP claims make me LMAO. Change dino oil at 3,500 - 5,000, synthetic at 5,000-8,000 miles depending on driving habits (more spiritied/ stop and go = fewer intervals), use a quality filter or OEM and chances are performance will not suffer and your engine will outlive the usefulness of your G

If real lucky you may see a change in mpg.

Just put a quart of each in with your next oil change and grab that number right away.
