All the major oil companies are stumping their synthetic oils in an attempt to overturn the success of Mobil l. Even Mobil I has entered the market with Mobil I 00-30 which according to a Wal-Mart tech is supposed to give you better mileage than 5-30 by making your car start easier.. of course this iteration is more expensive. What are us Vette owners supposed to do.Me....just keep using Mobil I 5w30 like the book says....works for me.
