Question for BigMIke: What data/experience do you have with AMSoil to prove that it is the best?  I don't disagree that it might be the best, but I am just curious why you feel so strongly about it.

For All: Anybody run Synthetic Blends?  When I put Castrol Syntec in my Tundra I noticed that the engine seems to run a little be smoother and quieter.  I was worried about the leak issues with my wifes Cavalier so I opted for Castrol Blend and it had a similar effect on the engine.  I am not sure if all Blends are essentially the same or if they are all completely different.  Syntec claims a conventional base oil, while Valvoline claims a synthetic base.  Anyone know anything about this?  How about AMSoil Blend?
