what kinda oil do you like?

GERMAN CASTROL
This is a very thick oil for a 30 weight and helps keep the valve train noise level down. I have just switched over from mobil 1 5w30 and will send in the oil for testing on my next change. Online results rate GC as one of the best oils for the car and price is very cheap when you get the bundle deals from Autozone. Pair that up with a K&N filter and you have an awesome combination for keeping that engine well fed on oil.

Nothing of the shelf is "fully", in comparison GC 0W-30 is 70% synthetic.
Castrol Syntec is like 80% group III Hydrocrack oil, just like M1
Now the M1 EP might have more synthetic properties but its still not fully synthetic.

If you think I am mad and need to chill, I think you need to chill. I was merely stating something that I commonly see, it wasn't meant to be directed to any one specifically. Apparently you have a sore spot.

Only mobil 1 oil I ever used was the MOBIL 1 Extended Performance 5w30. The Mobil 1 EPS oil is much better than EP.

Over the 30 years that I've owned cars I've used many brands of various qualities and never had any oil consumption issues or oil related problems. I am religious about changing every 3k w/ dino and lately 5k w/ Syn, and no, not the top grade stuff, just M1 5-30. Oil is so much better than it used to be, so I don't even think twice about it. I've got far more important things to do than worry if the oil I'm using will result in a a few more micro-particles of metal in the pan, which might shorten the life of my motor 10 years after I've moved on to another vehicle.
