coz my dad uses it in his 2002 van, he says its good **** and it costs heaps so it must be good - maximum protection moite. he used to use the penrite oils, the hpr40, the gas one that is for all our cars we got, but he ditched it for mobil 1 coz he said it's not synthetic. i'd also like to add that it was on special for like 52 sumwhere so my dad got 2 and gave one to me. chris.

I was using Mobil 1 last oil change then got told by my mechanic that there's a french engine oil called motul that he reckon's was the best!,So i went and brought the expensive stuff of motul i was amazed on the difference it had to Mobil 1! I be sticking to this engine oil for a long time now! Motul also have a webite if anyone is interested on how they make this best synthetic oil....
