    Have several buddies who are high up in jiffy lube, haveline, and other places. They say castrol gunks up the motor, or something like that. Mobil one, penzoil, are the main ones recommended.... I however still run haveline synthetic... But a Google search can help you.... Some guy tested all the oils, and the results will tell you what's best.

    I might just change to Mobil one then. My truck has ran castrol when it was bought with 6,000 miles on her.

    BMW, VW, Audi, and Mercedes use Castrol synthetic. all which use engines with superchargers or turbos on certain models. Used on my supercharged S5 and the oil still looked clean at 5,000 miles. I think you are just full of shit.
