??Mobil One??
Now that WallyWorld doesn't carry the 15W-50 Mobil One any more! What is everyone using for synthetic 15W-50 at a decent price???? Because of the high temps here in Florida, my engine guy wants to stay with 50 weight. JD

I changed my oil before the recent trip to Road America and used the Mobil One 0W-40 (it is the European spec oil for Porsche, and approved for Viper, Caddy and Corvette etc.).

Jim, the lower grade rating of 10w-40 may lower operating temperatures even in Florida. This is what I have switched to:

AMSOIL came out with a new line called Z-ROD a few weeks ago. It is high in ZDDP like the Dominator racing oil, but includes detergents and dispersants needed for a street driven engine.
It comes in 10W-30

and 20W-50

JD, look at O'Relilly's they have great sales on 15-50 Mobil 1 from time to time. It's as cheap as it was at Wally World. I bought 15 quarts form them last time they had the sale.
Also, check Advance Auto Parts, they have big sales, too. Buy up a bunch and you'll always have stock.

If you don't have cats then Brad Penn 15w40 is a good choice, there's a lot of ZDDP in the BP oil but it's priced in the same neighborhood as Mobil 1.
