    I did. And even if you remove Amsoil from every test Mobil still is not the best. Also read the last link I posted very good information in that as well. I'll just quote the important part.
    "None of the tested oils proved better than the others in our tests. There may be small differences that our tests didn't reveal, but unless you typically drive under more severe conditions than a New York cab does, you won't go wrong if you shop strictly by price or availability. Buy the viscosity grade recommended in your owner's manual, and look for the starburst emblem. Even the expensive synthetics (typically, $3 or $4 a quart) worked no better than conventional motor oils in our taxi tests, but they're worth considering for extreme driving conditions high ambient temperatures and high engine load or very cold temperatures.On the basis of our test results, we think that the commonly recommended 3,000-mile oil-change interval is conservative. For "normal" service, 7,500-mile intervals (or the recommendation in your owner's manual) should be fine. Change the oil at least that often to protect your engine and maintain your warranty. Even for the severe service experienced by the taxis in our tests a 6,000- mile interval was adequate. But some severe service - frequent cold starts and short trips, dusty conditions, trailer towing - may require a shorter interval. Note, too, that special engines such as diesels and turbos, which we didn't test, may need more frequent oil changes."

    Seems like changing your oil at regular intervals is more important than what brand you use.
    With even the small amount of research I did, it is easy to tell that most of what you pay for when buying oil is the name.

    I'm not arguing, sometimes the internet makes it seem that way. I don.t think Mobil 1 is the best, probably Amsoil is. I have 5 vehicles to maintain, and on sale with a Mobil 1 filter that is very highly rated its 30 bucks. I change my oil in all cars at 5k, I can live with that. If money was no option, I may use something different, but I'm cheap too so probably not lol.

    In my neck of the woods, a local "home&auto" chain, puts mobil super syn on sale for 17.99 for a 5 qt, jug about every couple months. Pair that with a Fram extraguard syn filter on sale @ 5.99 plus taxes and minus rebate = Under $16. good for 6k miles.
    For the record : I am NOT a naked meth-head who shoves rocks up my butt.
