I have used Castrol Syntec for many years. I run alcohol and put 75 passes on my oil before changing it. Bearings look brand new in most cases.

I run synthetic oil in every thing I own including the diff, trans and synthetic grease in the wheel bearings. I've used Mobil 1 10W30 in my old engine and I'm using 5W20 in the new one. I may change that to 5W30 though as I'm just not secure with the lower oil pressure readings. I know it's enough pressure just never have run an engine with that little. Anyway Amsoil is also good just a little harder to get for me.

Mobil One 15w50 synthetic in my hemi and my 440. It's getting hard to find now though. Both look great when I tore em down to freshen them up after a LOT of passes and street miles.

I've been using Amsoil synthetics in everything for years. My engine trans and differential builders have all commented on how good the parts look on teardown. They have a wide variety of high zinc oils to fit any needs. Personally I use the 5w-20 Dominator series in my race car.

Amsoil tech bulliten on flat tappet cams.

Amsoil source & more info.
