I run mobil 1 on my tt 300zx and just got a tt 350z that I'm building a motor on. I was going to run RP on my 300zx but it's gotten some bad reviews by independent motor oil testers. Amsoil always rates #1 and mobil 1 is usually in a close 2nd.

This is simply not the case as SEVERAL reviews have been done independently that prove otherwise on this very site.
Amsoil would never be rated #1, except by amsoil themselves. What makes this even more entertaining is the fact that Mobile 1 isnt even a true synthetic, yet your saying they are usually a close 2nd.
Edit: Where is Motul and Lucas synthetics in all of this?

Before the F/I, I used Mobil 0W40 synthetic. Once I installed APS ST, I only use Motul 300V 10W40. I hear it burns off a little, but Motul is called the "magic oil".. A race team head mechanic is a friend of mine, and he stands by his word... He tears apart engines and rebuilds them almost every week, and if he says Motul is the S$*T, I believe him...

I used RP and will never use it again. I changed from Mobile 1 to see how it was, and with only 2k miles on the oil I spun a rod bearing. RP might not have been the main issue of why the bearing spun, but it left me with a bad taste in my mouth for RP.

What is your opinion on this independent study?

Ams Oil VS Mobil 1
http://www.thefirstsyntheticoil.com/...comparison.htm
Oh, but they are not independent studies because AMSOIL executives reported this.... Hence the first syntheticoil.com is an AMSOIL slogan/website.... How can you actually get an independent study when there probably isnt any non biased....

you can get independent analysis done by sending your own oil in and testing it against other brands.
If it comes from a manufacturer it is biased to read better for their product (of course)
You can order an oil anaylsis kit from here.

run royal purple for 3000 miles, then Amsoil for 3000 miles then Mobile 1 for 3000 miles and review the test results for yourself.
Motul will blow them ALL away.

I am still debating using some Motul at this point to see how it works.

I thought you ran Motul before because you said it would blow RP/AMS/Mobil 1 away....
What brings you to that conclusion then? What did you see?
