i think royal purple is the best, i made this point earlier but no one commented on it, mobil 1 is not a pure synthetic anymore. this all started when castrol syntec used a close to synthetic as their oil and labeled it synthetic. mobil sued castrol over this, claiming false advertising, however castrol won the lawsuit.
because of this, mobil figured if you cant beat em, join em, and decided to do the same, which is why mobil one does not say synthetic, is says syntec or some other $hit, i forgot exactly what, they did the switch over as well because it cost less to produce.
in conclusion, royal purple is the only true synthetic that i can think of off the top of my head, if anyone disagrees with me or would like to add any additional input, id like to hear about it because id be interested in hearing how others feel about this

It is interested that most have recommended what is posted on the oilcap. 
Mobil1 is good stuff, readily available, nuff said. As the car ages I would step up to 15w and 20w for looser clearances.
