Since I'm not a neo-****-con, gun enthusiast, cyclist hater or friends with the mods... I get warning points? You're kidding right? There are a lot of people who talk unwarranted **** constantly, yet I'm going to get points?

I too have successfully used Mobile 1 5W30 synthetic oil for the majority of my oil changes. Used Royal Purple a couple times but way too expensive for me. I usually use Extended Performance cuz the oil stays cleaner (brown color) way longer than the regular stuff (which turns dirty black quite quickly). I guess i'm lucky or my car's really healthy cuz it don't burn alot of oil nor have i had any mechanical problems since buying her. To me, Mobile 1 is quality stuff for the money (pretty cheap for a 5 qt. jug at Wal-Mart). Besides, it's widely used by many auto sports/racing vehicles so it can't be that ****ing bad (it's also officially backed by major automotive brands for factory/service fills).
Mobil 1 and RP both perform poorly in our engines for the same reason. The problem is with the extreme conditions our turbocharged engines create they shear down and become too thin, creating Potential burnoff and protection problems. Try checking out rotella synthetic 5w-40 next time you're at walmart. Should be cheaper and it's a little more well suited for turbo applications. Just my 2 cents.
Also. Not wading into any kind of drama here but while the world is imperfect the ignore feature works every time.

Sounds like the path I followed. Between the OB chest thumping, BL's DID, the 'lol' post whoring and other random stupidity, there is no point in trying to take this place seriously. There are FAR better options for serious car discussion on the web, this place is the antithesis of intelligent discourse.
