Castrol Syntec is a blend. Mobil 1 is the same price and is real, regardless of base.

Castrol Syntec uses a cracked petrochemical base, although technically speaking, it's a full synthetic.

It is 1/3 cheaper to produce than Mobil 1, yet it's sold for the same price.

Mobil 1 is a full synthetic.

Which would you buy?

(BTW, I used Syntec until recently, when I switched to Mobil 1)

If you gonna make the switch ...i'd suggest u gotta engine flush first. Cause ur engine is already use to the other stuff. Its bad for your engine if you switch it without engine flush.

I use Mobil 1 synthetic.

One thing ive noticed is when its nearing time for an oil change. VTEC doesnt seem to kick in as strong. Once you get new oil in the engine. VTEC is more responsive and agressive.

Anyone else experience this?

i made the switch about 90k miles. i switched to castrol syntec blend ran that four about 10k miles and just recently switched to mobil 1 tri sythetic at 125k miles and my engine runs great. it runs smoother than it did with conventional. i think the trick is to make the switch gradually.

this 10 hp gain is probably from high output racing engines. so what kinda history does Royal Purple or Redline have? Castrol has proven itself & Mobil 1 is recommended for Vipers & Corvettes to Porsches & Ferraris. what else needs to be said
