Q Horsepower Motor Oil
Anyone tried it. It is fully synthetic and recommended by Ferrari. I just picked up a 5 gallon jug from the Auto Parts counter. I am going to try it out and let everyone know what I find.

Meh, some Ferrari models use Pirelli tires as well, and you see how well that worked out for the Cobalt LOL--really expensive, don't last long, pretty terrible grip. My Toyos in the same price range get twice the grip (though I admit, at the the expense of ride comfort)
I've been using Royal Purple oil but it's getting far too expensive; any alternatives? I heard something one time about some walmart brand being the same thing as Mobil 1 synthetic.

I thought about switching over to synthetic oil but since I'll only put about 5000 t0 6000 km's on my car a year i see no need spend the extra money for synthetic.

I use bulk mobil 1 5w30 in my 2008 2.4L sport with no problems. I change my oil every 5000kms tho. I did that in my 2005 2.2 base cobalt and it had over 130,000kms after 2 years and never had any problems. I can't justify using synthetic and i'm an automotive tech.
