Royal purple is garbage haha! Mobil has a number of synthetics, just be sure to go their top tier products if you want to run mobile.

I don't want to be "that guy" but I am not a fan of motul either, but thats a discussion I rather avoid as there are to many brand fan boys out there and it always turns into a sh*tshow. |

Do lots of research. I personally run Castrol Professional OE 0w-20 exclusively. I do used oil analysis every oil change and have been very very pleased so far.

This is what I talk about when you go with special order oils. When you need it, you have to wait till it ships.
If you can live with timing everything to when stuff ships, by all means special order oils is ok.

Big fan of Redline oils myself for the shear resistance. But no question, of your two choices the answer is Mobil 1.

Nope but that oil far exceeds my needs haha. Go do some reading on bob the oil guy forums to find the best oil for your needs. Its better you make your own informed decisions rather then asking some random guy like me on here what oil to run.
