I use the Supertech full sythetic in my car, seems to be great oil. It's like $3 a qt, good price for synethetic. I compared the label and ingrediants to Mobil 1 oil and couldnt find any differences.

I also want to mention I just tore my engine down and the internals are completely spotless.

FYI, wal-mart has a contract with Mobil 1 to supply its Supertech line with oil, so in essence you're buying mobil 1 oil

EDIT: before this turns into a hugh flaming super-duper flamefest, whats in the bottles IS NOT the same, the Mobil 1 bottle has different additives then the Supertech bottle. Warren Petroleum, they blend the oil from Mobil 1 with their own additives and whatever else and label it as Supertech.
