Question Yes another Oil question

Ok time to change out the oil and they have Royal Purple on sale for 6.99 @ Advanced then there is Valvoline SynPower FULL synthetic for 4.99 and then Mobil 1 is right around the middle of these price wise.

I'm using Mobile 1 now w/ a Purolator filter, but want to try Royal Purple, but I've heard good things about the Valvoline SynPower.


Which one should I go with???

Mobil One?

Royal Purple?

Valvoline SynPower ??

Thanks for the help

Any of those 3 are above and beyond all others. You can't lose no matter what. I wait until Advance has their $24.99 Mobil 1 5qt special and get a few changes at once. Use the PurOne Purolator with Synthetic oils. It has the special paper and seals for it. it's also one of the better filters among K&N and even Mobil 1(bosch). PurOne had better Micronic filtration that any of the others at half the price.

Cool thanks I'll probably go with the Valvoline this time because of the sale price.

i went purple a while ago and really like what i've seen in comparison to M1. for the few extra $$$ per change, i'll be sticking with RP.

i can't speak about the new valvoline synthetic but always found their dino oil to be above and beyond the others and would have no problem trying their products.

Thanks guys I was in Wally-world this morning getting wipers for the wifes car and came across Mobil 1 Fuel Saver (anyone use it?? It's New??) at 26 for a 5 quart jug and added another quart for 6.97 so I saved some over all. And of course I went with the Purolator PureOne filter. Hey if I can get a couple more mpg's out of it on my long trip this summer it's woth it. Again Thanks for the advice. H-
