[DML] Re: Data on oil (and the answer to my question)

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all for answering my oil questions. I went with the 10w30 
Mobil 1, but that was before I even asked the question here.

I don't even know where to buy Amsoil. It's not at any stores here. 
The only thing that surprised me about the oil data was that a 
synthetic blend was better than a pure synthetic.

Ok, so Mobil 1 is the worst of the synthetics but how does it 
compare to straight, dead-dinosaur oil? Especially the cheap stuff?
