Runs smoother during acceleration but that might be because its fresh oil. Ive heard that mobil 1 isnt truly synthetic but Im not sure how much different it is than the castrol oil. Mobile 1 is a lot cheaper though from what Ive seen. About $23 at walmart for 5 quarts i think

http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/...l_1_0w-40.aspx

Based on these oil analyzes, I switched to 0w40. Again, based on these results, royal purple has mixed reviews, and German Castrol 0w30 and 5w30 and Mobil 1 0w40 seem to have more positive results than negative ones. I also feel that my fuel efficiency has improved a tad, just a tiny bit.

I am not sure what your preferences are, but the general consensus seems to be German Castrol 0w30, 5w30 and Mobile 1 0w40.
