Pro Street Motorsports tested a few different oils on the dyno, pretty interesting results.

I had heard something to that affect once before. I guess Royal Purple really is the real deal. Seems to me that there would be left over of each brand in the engine causing a hybrid formula.

Just changing from dirty oil to new oil can give you 10+hp.

yeah a thiiner oil will help the engine move easier, but less oil will stick to rotating parts because it is thinner. This will decrease oil life and engine life if you go too thin. It's a tradeoff.
