I used Synthetic oil

I used Castrol GTX full syn. I read up on synthetic v.s. mineral oil and decided to switch when I did my last oil change. I used the Napa Gold, it has a spring loaded valve in it which helps prevent dry starts, but they don't state the micron filtration rate so I don't know how it compares.

OEM and Royal Purple 5W-30. Car runs cooler about 5-7 degrees than when it had Castrol Syntec in it. Also, I don't add any oil between changes.

anyone get better prices from the dealer than $16 for a filter. Im looking at using the greddy or the tocoro oils I get them about $8 a quart. other wise Im looking at mobile 1 since I dont have acess to amsoil.

How much does the napa gold go for?
