Yes it is blended by Ashland. With the weaker add pack, I wouldnt say it is better than M1 but will easily handle the OP OCI. I'm no mobil 1 fan but its a solid oil.
with m1 you are paying for the name, look at how many racing organizations they sponsor, its a decent oil yeah but the Napa syn. Isn't far off from synpower, and @ 3.49 a qt. It can't be beat, he is talking about saving money so that's the way to go for him.

+1 on this, The NAPA Syn. is on sale this moth for $3.49. Cheaper than the Val White and made by Valovoline. Buy 5 Qts on sale and get $5.00 off the NAPA
Platinum filter. College affordable !!

Listen to this Guy!

noob -
I think you actually SHOULD go to a dino , instead of an expensive synth.
Go get what's on sale at Walmart.
BTW - gas is already way over $4.

How about mixing Mobil 1 & Mobil Super , make your own Syn-blend ?

You could but they have completely different additive packages and chemistry. I think I'll let the oil manufacturer do the blending. Buy individual quarts would be more expensive than just buying 1 5qt jug.

Get some FAR Nextgen from AZ or AAP.
Change the oil every six months with whatever is FAR at the time.
You really don't need to use M1 with the miles you're driving and the engine you have.
Also, a little full throttle doesn't really tax the oil, especially with a very average performance engine, which is what you have.
If you tracked the car, it might matter.
You don't, so it doesn't.

I think I will stick with Mobil Super 5000 from walmart ( $13.97 ). or autozone currently have shell dino for $12.99..
