    Mobil 1 0W-40 is good although it's not fully synthetic.

    I want to try Royal Purple full synthetic in the future because it's dyno prove that it gains few HP with less friction.

    they had a long discussion about oil before about what oil is the best. it was elf exilm(forgot how to spell) 5W-40 from what I read and concluded.

    Royal Purple gains like 2-3hp at the low end, 10hp above 5.5K rpm. I will find a way to put that EVO X's dyno chart

    Re: Best oil

    i read in another thread about Mobil 1 not being fully synthetic. I happened to be at walmart yesterday and was looking at the oil...and sure enough it says "fully synthetic" on it. Anyone have any hard info that proves this wrong?
