I've been using Mobil 1 in all my vehicles for many years. About 3 years ago my wife got home in her 3.1 V6 Buick on a hot 100 degree day. I was outside working in the yard and I could smell the car from where I was. The radiator petcock valve failed on her way home and dumped all the coolant out. Radiator was dry. The temp gauge was pegged and the red warning light on. She was driving with the A/C on light nothing was wrong. I fixed the valve filled the system with new coolant. Car has about 136K miles on it now and it's still running good. My 5.3 Silverado has 224K on it and shows no signs of slowing down. I use the Extended Performance Mobil 1 in my Camaro with ACDelco filter. Works for me.

I replace all of my fluids with AMSOIL and use their filter as well.

I been running the mobile 1 also and haven't had an issue. I have a heavily cammed car. Not a race car but a weekend driver, the odd time to the strip... Drag strip I mean.. Kinda lmao.
I'm surprised no one has said anything about the royal purple. Maybe that's better for boosted motors? Guys in the cobalt forum with 400-500whp use that as I have heard. Must be good right?

On topic - I've used Pennzoil Platinum the last two changes with an ACDelco filter as it's been the cheapest and most convenient spec'd synthetic to get ahold of. Used Royal Purple before and Mobil 1 as well. It's all good oil.

Just used Mobil 1 Full Syn 5w30 and a Mobil 1 Ext Performance Filter. Lots of good oils out there. Changing it on time is the key.

Royal Purple 5w-30 going in Friday for my first oil change (Will be about 700 miles). Usually do my first at 1000, but going on a short road trip that will pack on about 700 miles this weekend.
Also going with RP filter. Used to be die hard M1 until I switched to RP in my old Hemi truck which removed most of the tick that those engines have. RP filters are MUCH better than the M1 as well. M1 is a bit cheaper but @ $71 for a complete RP change w/ 8 quarts, its not really too bad. |

Amsoil for engine oil. RP for the other stuff. No expert but the car likes the RP in the trans and diff. Butt dyno confirms.
