More Than You Ever Wanted to Know About Motor Oil
An interesting article by Ed Hackett comparing a wide range of motor oils. The factory recommended Mobil 1 seems to stack up pretty good against the others tested.

I use Royal Purple in my car. I wonder why it wasn't included.

It's been said many times before - but I will only use an oil that meets or exceeds the GM 4718M standard for the Corvette, and says that on the bottle. Personal opinion of course.
