Amsoil...
I use Amsoil front to back in my Beemer. No slam there against Mobil 1, however, since I used that in my race cars for a loooooooooong time, and nver any issues.
I use the Amsoil because I got on their "Preferred Customer" program where for a small annual fee you can buy all their products and have them shipped directly to you. I have now used Amsoil's products - from oil to gear lube, from vinyl/leather cleaners and protectants, from multi-purpose spray lubes to greases, etc. - for quite some time now in all my personal vehicles, and I haven't found anything that wasn't first-rate stuff. Interestingly enough, the BMW dealership where I prefer to do business with (up in Austin, nearly 200 miles away...) also uses and recommends Amsoil highly.
For me it's nice to work up a fairly large order a couple of times a year and stock up my garage with everything I need for my cars, bikes, lawn care equipment, etc., and then I have it right there when I need it.
And I'm an automobile dealer...

Thank you for all your input ,so far ! My dealer is down the street from my house and there selling either one .
I don't know Walmart is selling mobile ! I will check it out there might
be a beneficial cost savings over the dealer !
I use Amsoil in my cars and never had any problems , i have
heard nothing ,but good things about Mobile 1
I have heard lots of things about Royal Purple , but need find a place up here where i can find it !

Amsoil
Ditto on the Amsoil recommendations. I've used in it my cars for years (my Honda's approaching 200k) and will in my R when it stops sucking oil and finally gets broken in. But, I've heard really good things about Royal Purple.
The "preferred customer" option with Amsoil is jumblies.

Wal-Mart = Satan??? Destroyer of the Middle Class???
You've got to be kidding me...
Wal-Mart and the Waltons are one of the classic entrepreneurial success stories of all time, and actually should serve as an example of how enough hard work coupled with a dream and some smarts will make you a ton of money... Ya' know... Sort of the whole idea behind a free nation and capitalism.
Wal-Mart wouldn't be as successful as it is if it didn't give the people what they want. Their parking lots aren't packed full because nobody shops there, and it is for sure a vast majority of those "blue collar" workers referred to shop at Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, etc.
Why is it in this country that if somebody turns out to be a resounding business success they are suddenly branded as "evil"???
Give me a break...
Maybe it is no more than simple jealousy... or envy... or both.
Cheers!

Dittos to what Dallara said, I do all of our grocery shopping at the Walmart Super center up here. Hard to find a parking space in their lot. The place is filled with happy Walmart employees as well.
