regular valvoline or mobile 1 dino juice, since the SuperSyn goes right past my rings... the amsoil doesn't seem to go by as bad but paying $6 a quart to burn it off isn't my idea of fun

amsoil 5w30 is great oil and track temps don't faze it.

I have oil analysis done from blacksonte labs from every oil change to prove it.

I've run?:

RedLine
AMSOIL
Castrol GTX
Castrol GTX HighMilage
Mobil 1
and currently: Valvoline Maxlife Synthetic

Redline, 1 oil change.
AMSOIL, for 13500 miles (with only a filter change at 6000 miles)
Castrol GTX, once
Castrol GTX Highmilage, once
Mobil 1, all of the other times

I've been attempting to see which oil burns the least.

Thus far the AMSOIL was the best.

I've sent most of them out to Blackstone labs.

I generally leave the oil in the car for 7500 miles (Honda recommend interval).

The Castrol GTX Highmile was the only oil that I'd say wasn't holding up well. The used oil analysis (UOA) looked good, except that the TBN was 3 after only 3100 miles with 1 3/4 quarts of makeup oil.

Personally, I use Pennzoil 5W30. Works fine and no issues with burning any either at 34K.
