since brand new i've been using amsoil in my vette. personally the 2 best oils out there are, amsoil and pennzoil. castrol and mobil1 in my book are just a lower grade oil that belong in foreign jobbers. 
thats my opinion and i'm sticking to it.

Do you have a link to that whitepaper? I have seen several and never have I seen Pennz come in 2nd,, I have seen GM synthetic gear oil beat Mobil 1, but every engine oil comparison I have seen Mobil 1 has been 2nd.

Clearly biased as I also sell AMSOIL, but been using AMSOIL in everything I own from my 02 Z06 at the track to my John Deere since 2004. Very satisfied across the board.
More than happy to get AMSOIL products for forum members at dealer wholesale pricing, about 25% below retail, via the AMSOIL Preferred Customer Program. Drop me a PM if interested.

no. but twice i've seen it and it was the same. out of the 10 tests they perform, pennzoil beat mobil1. maybe not by much, but still beat it out. maybe someone on the forum has that test they can share with us.

(Pennzoil Synthetic Platinum & Ultra vs the Competition - YouTube) I saw this in a commercial before. I think this is what you are referring to.

In my opinion it's a good, better best thing. I've been using Amsoil in my race cars and my Corvette for years. My 2011 ZR1 gets it too. Mobil one has always been a top end oil but there are better choices out there. Does your car need the better choices? I'll bet none of you (me included) keep a car long enough to determine if the oil you're using has made a difference in how long your engine lasts or what difference it makes in engine wear. Don't forget about the deal Corvette made with Mobil oil. I'm not privy to the arrangements between the two companies but your oil cap doesn't say Mobil One because GM thinks it's the best. There are advertising benefits for them both to be sure.

This is a link to AMSOIL's current tests. The Study of SAE 5w30 Synthetic Motor Oils is the 3rd one down:

Is Ams Oil good. Yes it is. But here is a little secret about motor oil. ANY motor oil that meets the manufactures specs will protect your engine just fine. So you can by the cheapest 5-30 you can find that meets GMs specs for your car, it will live long and prosper as long as you change it per the Manufactures guidelines or sooner if you prefer your own intervals. With that said, I use M1 and buy it when its on sale.
