Royal Purple, Amsoil, Redline and i forgot the last oil. They are all Group 4 oil's and the best on the market.

Mobil 1 is a group 3 and GARBAGE since they changed there formula

Royal Purple here. All their products have worked great for me.
5w-30 all year long for me, but Kaisoboy is right if you want to run 10W-30 only do it in the summer.
