LOL. Is anybody here contesting that mobil 1 is a 100 percent synthetic? Do we care that it isn't? As long as its hydrocarbons are refined enough to keep our cars lubricated and clean, thats all that matters. By the way, your english is horrible and you knowz nothingz.

Even if it is not 100% Synthetic, thow a little KY in there. If it is good enough for her ***, it should be good enough for the car.

The factory highly recommends Mobil 1 so that is what I use. I would bet that most oils if not ALL oils sold on the market will protect an engine as long as the oil is changed on a regular basis. I have used Castrol GTX for years on my WRX and that engine runs fine with 100K miles. Be careful of websites that claim one brand better than another because who really knows which oil company's marketing department is trying to sell more of their oil by ranking another brand as inferior. Talk to well respected tuners and garages instead.
