WHATS THE BEST SYNTHETIC OIL ON THE MARKET?

FullStop · Postby **FullStop** » August 26th, 2008, 11:24 pm

i used both royal purple and mobil one, the mobil 1 runs the car much quieter however that could just be due to the fact that i used a heavier body on the mobil1, . Somebody said above that many of the synthetic oils are similar and from what i've read thats true, however royal purple is not like the others, its quite different , the ppl at amsoil said so, , i've never tried amzoil so i cant judge it, but i plan to do an engine flush and try it, or i might give in and go back to Royal purple and use a heavier body,

probably in yuh sunny that is work great but i'm not prepared to pay close to $300 for an oil change to have to top up every few thousand km in my 20v.
and i have a friend who up until last year had a B16A civic and he claimed that the mobil1 was burning up in his engine as well.

Royal Purple

well if you burn royal purple you actually come out good since the solid residue in in is great as a lubricant in even as engine deposit on your cylinder walls its good as a lubricant, no other synthetic oil can give you that

I personally been loving the Total Quartz 9000 5w-40 .. Was getting galons for about $205 or so...

Was actually getting 5 qt bottles for that price but then they realise and downgrade me to the 4qt bottle

my 20v in good working condition, been using royal purple in that and the wife NZE for over a year now and i'm never going back
@ a 10000km oil change i will recover 80%-90% of the volume of the oil as compaired to about 55%-65% with Mobil1.

I like amsoil, i've never had any problems with it nor have i ever heard people say anthing bad about them. I've also heard tho that this new oil from japan eneos is pretty good. I think i might give it a try on my next oil change.

I say "most" because I've seen posts from some that use super expensive race grade oil in their foreign used grocery-getters and swear they're better than the turbo charged weekend warrior that running GTX). It boils down to hype and brand loyalty here basically, and since there are oil comparison charts littered all over the interwebz, it's fairly easy to make an educated decision on which brand and weight you use, but in the end it's all taken on faith, since you'll never actually know what it's doing in your engine.

I'll stick with Mobil 1...the SuperSyn additive in Mobil 1 is produced by Exxon-Mobil....it is also sold to other oil manufacturers under different trade names...I suspect Exxon-Mobil will use the best SuperSyn additive package than what they sell to their competitors

"Mobil Chemical is the World's only Manufacturer of very low and very high viscosity PAOs and they sell them to a wide range of Blenders (Oil Companies) for use as base fluids in engine and other lubricants

Spectra Syn, Spectra Syn Plus and Spectra Syn Ultra are but three product definitions along with PureSyn and SuperSyn and others. Esterex (esters) and Synesstic (ANs) are other Mobil components used in lubricants. They come in a wide range of VIs and viscosities

Tri-Synthetic branding is still used on some M1 packaging in Europe

SuperSyn is used by some Blenders (Oil Companies) in their own product descriptions

It is no doubt a Commercial reality that EM wil retain the best products for their own (and possibly exclusive) use

These chemical base fluids no doubt add much to their range of Mobil lubricants from Group 3 and beyond - and not only those sold as Mobil or Delvac products either"
