I run Mobil 1 Syn. It's what the car calls for and is the best oil on the market besides Royal Purple and that might not be true.

I used Royal Purple for my last oil change and from now on I will use Amsoil. FYI Mobile 1 is no longer a full synthetic. Mobile 1 sued Castrol for claiming that their Syntec synthetic oil was a cheaper alternative to Mobile 1 Full Synthetic. But Castrols Syntec synthetic is not a true full synthetic and was allowed to continue to advertise as such. So Mobile 1 decided that if they can do it so can they. I got knock after using Royal Purple so I'm trying Amsoil because it is the only full synthetic that is pure and not treated.
