I use Amsoil but most of the brand name synthetics are pretty good so it really cames down to personal preference. Some may be better than others but its doubtful you will have your car long enough to find out which one truely lubricated better. JMO.

because when you are racing you tend to change your oil often..
At least I change oil 2 times a month in the car...
That would be ******* expensive putting syn. in at that oil change intervals.
I know I dont have to change the oil like that, but **** it cuz I can.
Plus we are racing the car every other weekend at the track....

So why be cheap? Regular oil cost like what $10 for 5 quarts compared to the Mobil 1 synthetic jug you can get at Walmart for $23.00. Two oil changes considering you do it yourself you'd save what $26.00?? Doesn't make sense
