Does it matter that the Brad Penn oil is partially synthetic if your car has been only running synthetic

the oil you buy on the shelf is the same oil that's used in 24 hour Leman's cars... what other company does that?
Woah super pricey oil changes there. In my part of the world that would run $100+ just in oil for every oil change. And it won't last as long as "street use" oil because of the additive package. No doubt the best performance and protection for your engine though.

I use motul x-clean 5w40 in the summer and amsoil sso 0w30 in the winter. I only use the amsoil because I bought it in bulk and I'm trying to burn through it. Otherwise the motul makes the engine run so much smoother (noticeable with 90A engine mounts) and gas mileage is 10-15% better so I'd imagine power is also helped by a similar amount.

You can get the VR1 at Autozone/ Oreillys usually too which is handy.

I had been using Redline 10w30 before, but, there was only one place local that sold it.
