I've been reading up about Mobil1's reforumlated SuperSyn oil... it looks
like since they couldn't beat Castrol Syntec, they're now joining them,
using less PAO in their formula.
5w30 TriSynth with SuperSyn's pour point is UP to -54F

5w30 old TriSynth's pour point is -65F

I don't know about you guys, but I'm a little perturbed with Mobil1's
decision... and I'm going to start looking for other alternatives for
synthetic oil. Do many autocrossers use M1, or do they use the expensive
stuff like Amsoil?
