Has anyone had any experience with this all synthetic oil?

I was thinking about changing from Mobil One.

Lucas Oil is garbage. There Top Alcohol and Fuel Teams don't even run there oil as the engines don't live.

You can also use the rule of common sense for nearly all additives... seeing as selling oil (or gas, or anything) is highly competitive, if a simple additive can increase the performance of the product the companies would put it in themselves in order to gain an advantage over the competition.

That they don't means either it doesn't work (usually the case) or they are not allowed to due to some govt regulation.

Mobile 1 is actually a full 100% syntheitic. RP is also an excellent choice.
