Save your $$$$ it is ALL made by Mobile. I have a friend that delivered the Synth Coke to all oil bottleing co as well as oil co that bottle their own. Tracers & Additives are the only diff. You can see what mine looks like & that is after 2 years of trying everything to not have to do a head gasket repair. overheated many times. I tried all the sealers & only 1 worked for about 4-6 months Steel Seal (but it too gives way when 130 MPH comes around). Hell it will quit working after several months. But it SOOOOO HARD not to watch others hit their shup-down limit then I put the petal to the medal & show them they really would have lost anyway. LOL!!!!

Royal purple 5w30 since the swap, not that the engine is pulled out again for diversion plate seal fix, I'll go either royal again or AMSOIL with the new oil cooler added.

Save your $$$$ it is ALL made by Mobile. perhaps but I know that Lamborghini is so sold on Valvoline oil that by using any other brand will void the factory warranty. If they are that convinced of it's superiority who am I to disagree. Valvoline only here (if possible)

From me or either car they dont carry the Supertech Synthetic Blend here. All i see on the shelves are the conventional, High mileage, and full synthetic. Unless im missing something. Really dont wanna run full synthetic. What color is the bottle?

It was in a red bottle just like max life high mileage synthetic blend. However, non of the bottles on the shelf here say synthetic blend anymore You can always mix your own. I will be switching back to Valvoline Synthetic Blend after finding this out though! It's a $2-3 difference IIRC.

I will stick with Valvoline SB until they come back with the blend. Almost time for that winter time oil change

Mechanic told me to stick with good old fashion 5W30 - said that sythetic being thinner may find leaks.

Royal purple 5-30 with royal purple filter, thinking of switching to 10-40 for summer. Put 8k miles on it in 100+ heat 23% viscosity left still.
