I'll have to check out the API/SF ratings and compare. We only have 137 miles on the Camaro, so it'll be awhile before it's oil change time anyway.

How's everybody?
Funny thing is the Royal Purple plant is just 5 miles from my house... I considered switching to that, it was being sold at the local walmart.... When I was in my youth I worked a a Mobil gas station changing oil and doing state car inspections. One day a car came in for a oil change, it was to me a very old car you know 10 yrs. or better. (I've got socks that old now LOL) anyway I can still remember how impressed at how well his car ran. I asked him what oil he wanted and it was Mobil1. He told me that he had owned the car since new and had always used Mobil 1.
From that day on I have used Mobil1. I don't know if it is the best or not but it has served me well over the years and I have never had a internal engine failure while using Mobil1. and It does help that it is the recommended synth. by GM.
