Good article phil -- Personally, I have tried many different brands of
motor oil, the slick50s, all that crap.  My final opinion is that I LOVE
castrol.. not the synthetic castrol.. Just the plain regular castrol..
Usuaully it costs 1.50/quart but it occasionally goes on sale for as low
as .69cents (In which case I buy cases of it :)  

It really quiets the engine down.. no more tic-tic-tic-tic noises (or at
least for the first thousand miles after the oilchange).  Also I find the
car runs better (dont ask me how.. just the feel of it)...

Cheers!
