This is the debate older than dirt. Any kind of synthetic is pretty good. My opinion is the best on the shelf is Royal Purple, Redline, Mobil1, Amsoil and the list goes on. With 150K Id stick with some 10W40.
only you and bernie would know for sure...you were both there when it began!

do the smoke test on the engine take off the oil camp when the car is cool start up the car and look for smoke if u can use the throttle on the engine to rem it up no more then like 2500 if smoke comes out then the engine is bad usely .
Ok so take the oil cap off... look for smoke out of the exhaust or out of the fill neck?

^^^^^glad that's your opinion and not fact cause truth of the matter is royal crap ranks 8th or 9th on the list on how well it passed all the independent tests it was subjected to such as the 4 ball friction wear test ect ect, mobil one was low on the list too Pennzoil and Amsoil were among the top performers in all aspects such as the quality of detergent packages used as well as all wear tests and shear tests they were subjected to, I have the independent test conducted as a print out somewhere at work

I run Supertech synthetic oil and it's great oil for the money.
I run the regular supertech oil and filter in my 81 vw d/d for the past 100k and the car now has 256k....supertech in a d/d ftw!!! 8 dollar oil change ftw!!!

Ive seen all the test results and the fact of the matter is those test don't mean much unless you have some real problems going on inside your engine. I personally run Mobil one in everything. If the engine is built right you could run about anything in it. As far as what goes into your cars engine any of what I mentioned is more than enough. Until they incorperate the 4 ball friction test into my engine I think Mobil1 will do me fine.

they don't mean much to you cause your not able to draw a parrallel to the test vs what's going on internally in the engine, but hey that's okay you use what you use and so be it....royal purple has always worked well for me also, that is to keep the garage doors from squeaking
