Amsoil.
Or Pennzoil Platinum when it comes to off-the-shelf stuff.
And those fucking commercials are getting REALLY old now.....they were funny once.

Royal Purple is worse than most dino oils....
Amsoil isn't cheap.
Pennzoil Platinum is what I run in my cars currently. T/A will be going over to Amsoil soon though.
PP outshines Mobil 1 in about every area. Price included.
And switching oils isn't going to hurt anything.

Normally no. Check with CompSyn, a sponsor here.
Most people buy into that crap about Royal Purple gaining power in their ads. Which may be true....but is it really protecting your motor?? No.
At normal temp, RP will shear (break down basicly) and not protect as well. I can sacrifice one RWHP for protection.

I found one place around me that is a Amsoil dealer. Its actually right across the street from a Autozone. Most places to not sell Amsoil, Like said above... Compsyn sells it here. And if you get on the preferred member (?) there is a discount.
