Which synthetic oil do you guys think are best. I have a friend who owns a porche boxster and has run Redline sythetic and claims the engine runs cooler and "feels" more powerful than before. Anyone have any input?

 

Go to page three of this forum for a discussion of this....

 

Mobil 1

 

Mobil 1 is not synthetic for starters. Redline or Amsoil are mucho better.

 

Can't get amsoil or redline in Canada as far as I know, so I'll buy the next best thing... Mobil1.

 

You can get Amsoil in Canada if you order it online....

Mobil 1 is synthetic although the new formula is probably not as good as the old formula. Castrol Syntec is not synthetic.

 

A racing friend suggested Synergyn 0/20, uses it in his daily driver. It's hard to find and expensive (@12.00 per quart) but he says its worth every penny for your car.

 

BMW/MINI developed a synthetic motor oil specifically for the MINI. You can purchase it through your local MINI service department.
