Either one will be good for the supercharger. I have put Mobil 1 synthetic in my Mustang since the first oil change.

Speaking of synth, are they really like $30 per oil change ?

I had to go buy 6 quarters in 1-quart increments at like $5 a piece recently at Pepboys to give to my mechanic, heh...

Can you get these damn things cheaper ?

when did you guys swich over to synthetic (your first oil change)? and do you guys use the nissan oem oil fliter or is the mobil 1 oil fliter better? my friend buys the mobil 1 fliter but he said he pays like 11 dollars for the fliter and thats for his integra (would it be more for are cars). thank for the feed back, i think i'm going to go with the mobil 1 synthetic, looks like most of you like it.

Costco sells Mobil 1 oil by the case. $23.99 4 six quarts.
Sams is about the same price. Hope that helps
