Ej,

On a Lexus users group i ran across a study of different motor oils under 
different tests, supposedly by an independant company.  Royal Purple scored 
marginally better than the average conventional dino-oil.  mobil 1 came in second 
overall, with Amsoil coming in 1st but not much better than Mobil 1. apparently 
Amsoil was still pretty good after 10,000 miles.  certain parts of Mobil 1 
were breaking down at 4000, while your usual valvoline and quaker state were 
breaking down after 10 minutes in certain situations.  the general consensus was 
Royal Purple is about as good a name-brand semi-synthetic.  if i find the site 
i will post it.
