Many members of my track use Royal Purple, and I know of a few using it with 5W30 in Nissan motors. They have all found it a notch above the Mobil 1 they were using, even after a few oil changes.
Personally, I still like my German Castrol 0W30, though I hear they are going to reformulate it, and then I am likely to switch to Redline 5W20.
Too bad you can't find Pennzoil, as their Platinum is also a good oil over Mobil 1.

I use RP, wont use anyting else in my cars. Amsoil/Redline is just as good. My local asian market Don Quioxe...something (formally known as Daie) carries RP and when i take mom on tues, seinor discount day, i usally buy 1qt at a time.

Has something happened to Mobil 1 synthetic? Its a pure synthetic right? I used to use RP in my mustang when i had it.. I remember getting the headgaskets replaced and the block was as clean as a whistle inside.. I guess switching to RP won't hurt anything right? BTW isn't the GS rated for 5w 30 anyway? thanks

Mobil 1 isn't 'pure' synthetic like they use to be. I stopped using mobil 1 in favor for something else since the premium price wasn't worth it for me.
Our car is rated for 5w-30. I just did my oil change two days ago with 5w-20 instead because my daily driving consists of heavy stop and go traffic, plus I only drive 4 miles round trip (2 in the morning, 2 at night) so my engine doesn't even have time to warm up
