Plus shipping, and from what I gathered in that oil thread the shipping added around 20% to the cost!
For those who didn't read all 42 pages, it looks like Renewable's "HD" oils have the fuel dilution improvements developed for that guy's Audi direct-injection V8.

Will the use of Mobil 1 void my new-car warranty?
With the exception of the Mazda rotary engine (Mazda does not recommend any synthetic oils), Mobil 1 will not void new-car warranties. Mobil 1 exceeds the API and ILSAC engine-oil service requirements of all new-car manufacturers, both import and domestic. If in doubt, always check your vehicle owner’s manual or contact your vehicle’s manufacturer.

Question:
Using Mobil 1 in a Mazda Rotary Engine
I have a 2005 Mazda RX-8. This has a rotary engine, which injects oil into its intake path. Can I use Mobil 1 without risk of incomplete oil burn and or buildup?

Answer:
Mazda does not recommend the use of synthetic oils in its rotary engines. To help maintain your vehicle's warranty coverage, we suggest that you follow your car builder's engine oil recommendation.

The 'synthetic oil being detrimental to rotaries' thing is ridiculous.
Synthetic Idemitsu was formulated specifically for use in......you guessed it, rotaries.
I've torn down many many motors, and the ones run primarily on synthetic showed less wear.

I used to use RP 10w30. I'm using 15w40 now. Once i get my heat exchangers in order i might drop back to 10w30 depending on how everything works out.
