Anyone use, or have an opinion on Valvoline SynPower?

Mobil 1 5w30 here too

Castrol here, came with the car and I have used Castrol in my cars for many years.

Mobil 1 now comes in the LS1s I hear so you certainly can't go wrong there.

Looks like Mobil 1 gets the nod here...but I just visited LS1Tech.com....they mostly seem to prefer the Valvoline Synthetic ... decisions, decisions....thanks for the input! Check out this discussion at LS1Tech... LS1Tech.com Oil Thread

Amsoil.

Castrol Syntec so far, but I'm thinking of changing to Amsoil or Redline to support companies that are more into motorsports. Using an oil that is the "Official Oil of the WWF" doesn't sit well with me ... just like I can't bring myself to drink Coors or Miller products

Always has been...always will be...Mobil 1!

Mobil 1 10/30 synth.

Castrol 5-50W full synthetic. That's what came in the car from SLP and I'm sticking with it.

I started using Mobil 1 about 10 years ago and it would be my choice if the car did not come factory filled and warranteed w/ Castrol. 15k miles and no problems. I think all the full synthetics are pretty close in performance. As long as we stick with them we should never see an oil related failure.
