Both sides have valid points. My biggest problem with these discussions is that everyone always points to the "green" energy as only being viable as long as there are subsidies. Big oil is not immune to this. They post 10's of billions in profit every year, yet are still receiving billions in...
Some more options for what would arguably be good racing oils for low dollars:

I'm looking at trying this oil in my SBC with flat tappet and dual springs. Just waiting on the local dealer to give me a callback with the price.

Looks like I've been out of the loop a little. They have finally merged the two and that would explain why the new add pack in the 5w-50 looks so much better than it used to. Exciting. May have found a new...
Syntec 5w-50 is a very smooth running oil. Even in the winter. I also am a fan of the Xw-40 and Xw-50 oils, though most of my apps are heavy duty or old model. I did have a volvo that I ran the Syntec in exclusively and it was a very nice running engine/oil combo. The last VOA on it showed a...
Maybe syntec will become ok now that pennzoil has made a group 3 synthetic cool. Even sought after. I'm running the 5w50 in my chevy now. Smooth oil and easy starts even in the teens here lately.
