Which Engine Oil is the Best

My car has had 5w 30 Mobile 1 Syn oil with every change, every 3k miles. With other brands out there, is there anything better? With now running e85 and putting down about 420WHP should I change weight? Please give me your two cents. I was looking at AMSOIL and Eneos???

I run amsoil SSO 0-30 and yes it's much better. Not to say Mobil 1 is bad I used it for 10 years but there are better oils this is true.

I have run Mobil 1 every every 3000 miles. Im at 14500 miles so I wanted to change all my drivetrain fluids. I figured I would try some amsoil. I currently have sitting at home their 0w-30. I plan to give a full review of everything when its all said and done.

After reading a post from last year titled Eneos VS AMSOIL, I have made up my mind... AMSOIL 0-30 SSO sound like it is the best! Thank you all for your input.

Amsoil Racing 10w-30 was put up against the other major "racing" oils i.e. Royal Purple, Redline, Lucas, Torco etc...and pretty much was the best or within the top 3 on every test that independant lab did.
