I was just reading this guy's oil blog. It's pretty interesting. He ranks AMSOIL SS 0w30 at #12, Mobil1 5W30 at #10. This is all based on film strength. 5W30 AC Delco is way down at #90 (this is the free stuff that GM puts in my Cruze). I will be upgrading to Mobil1 5W-30 for my next oil change, and now we know why so many manufacturers recommend and test most heavily with Mobil1.

It was interesting to see some conventional oils place so highly. The other oil that I was considering, Castrol Magnatec, didn't do so hot (#100). Granted, this test doesn't really capture its claim to fame, but I still probably won't use it. Royal Purple generally did poorly.
