    just go look at oil analysis results for it over on http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/ to see if it is worth the extra $$$

    That's really the only way to determine if it is "better."

    I have a guy that does oil analysis. He has tested numerous oils on numerous built subaru motors. I'm currently running Shell Rotella-T 5w40. It's a full synthetic, and from his analysis, over 3000 miles it had the least amount of wear. He also recommended running a 200:1 mixture of gasoline and marvel mystery oil in your gas tank. Not for the cleaning effect really, he says the MMO cools the piston crowns.

    Rotella T 5w40 costs 16 bucks for a gallon jug at Walmart, which is considerably cheaper than Mobil1 5w30 SuperSyn, which, incidentally is no longer a full synthetic ;)

    I'm pretty sure Mobil 1 still has a fully synthetic product. That's all I've ever used in any of my vehicles.

    But I'm interested in the oil findings. Anyway you can forward them to me???

    Neither is Rotella. It has a group III base.

    Ray, if you can find it GC 0w-30 is the new hotness and IS a true synthetic (PAO base). Amsoil is also a true synthetic with the exception of the XL series.

    None of this info helps you find Royal Purple, sorry.

    I think that the only place in the area that carries the German Castrol Syntec is Autozone. Unfortunately there aren't any near my house.....but then again I used to drive across the damn city to get Amsoil, lol.

    I didn't choose Rotella T because it was or wasn't synthetic, I chose it for it's wear properties.

    +1 for MAS. I bought some RP gear oil there a few years back. I'm not sure why you didn't go to their site instead of complaining about people getting offtopic. Its not too hard. It looks like every O'Reilly's carries it. /thread
