i've been using synthetic since my first car (in my name), but i wonder if i'm just wasting money since i haven't even kept any of them for very long.
i find that it's more for longevity of the engine over actual performance gains for the moment.
what do you nerds use and why?

mobil 1 isnt' always synthetic i thought?
i heard some company has refined oil recycling and is now selling that stuff. i might switch just for the environment.

yeah, the commercial with the guy revving his engine like nuts? lol.
they say that it meets or exceeds all industry standards, so i wonder if it's worth a try. probably expensive though.
