I throw my money away every 5000km's hahahaha! but your right any premium oil company's (not marketing company that sells oil) top end oil will generally outlast what the filters on our cars can handle. That being said don't try saving money by going with super long intervals, oil changes are cheap preventive maintenance

NAPA also has their own brand of synthetic (which is made by Valvoline) and when on sale, it's usually $3.49 a quart.

Just don't get royal... anything else is good.

For a boosted car running E85, I would not use the 0W-20 GF-5 oil from Mobil 1 or Royal Purple or any brand. I would be looking at something a little robust and with higher detergency/dispersancy levels. For Mobil1, maybe the 0W-40 since it's a light 40 grade or even the High Mileage line since it has the older API SL levels of anti-wear additives. For Royal Purple, probably the High Performance Street oil in 5W-30. UOA's here have shown that with a very good tune you can run GF-5 0W-20 oils with good results, but there isn't anything wrong with maybe stepping up the viscosity and/or or the anti-wear/detergent package. And I definitely wouldn't make a decision based on how someone feels about brand x over brand y. Sure, RP offers low bang for the buck, but that doesn't mean it sucks and they do have a nice variety of oils to choose from (GF-5, high performance street, and pure racing). |

All I can really add is do UOA until you find an oil your happy with, that is the only way to get the right oil you want.
