Let me clue you in:
Engine:
Mobile One
Tranny:
Mobile One Synthetic ATF
Rear End:
Mobile One Synthetic Gear Lube 75w-90
Misc Lubricating(like bolts and whatnot):
Mobile One Synthetic Universal Grease
As you can tell I don't believe in Mobile One. I have just heard to many great stories about the product to trust it

I agree with LT1coz. Royal Purple isn't the cheapest, but I had Mobil 1 in the engine, tranny and diff that I swapped to RP and I have to shift quicker now. I haven't been to the track to see if it made a difference there, but it definitely revs quicker now. I have heard Mobil keeps cheapening up the formula of Mobil 1 every time they "redesign" it. There was an independent study done a while back that tested all the synthetic formulas and believe it or not Mobil 1 was among the worst performers. I'll see if I can find the link to the site of it's still there.

15w50 has always provided great oil pressure year round, and starts up great even in the cold.

Castrol Syntec 5-50w. Its synthetic and the VESCOSITY RANGE says it all really. The 5w provides the flow (especially cold) specified by GM, and the 50w provides the heat/stress shear protection beyond what GM specifies. Synthetics don't use additives to widen the vescosity range like dino oils do.
WIDER IS BETTER.
