That was an interesting read, I had no idea the claims they make aren't actually based on research. But I am still going to try RP on the next oil change.

I hadn't heard about that, but I remember reading an article in some sort of hot rod magazine where they ran a corvette on a dyno (Mobil 1 in the engine), left it strapped in place, changed the oil to RP, and ran it again! Made 4 more hp on top. Thought that was interesting.
Back to the original question, Royal Purple, Mobil 1, AMSOIL are all good choices. I really can't speak to other synthetics (haven't used them).
