That's all that I use.  I can't say that I saw any improvements in performance or milage but both the Vortec and the Vortech seem to like it.

I thought i read an article on a magazine.They changed fluids on a chevy dually and they found improvements on the HP dept. and fuel. 2-3 hp gains when using both,tranny and motor.

I've posted this on another thread on synthetic oil, but since I was talking about Mobile 1, I'll paste it here too.

It's my understanding the Mobile 1 synthetic is not as synthetic as it was 25 years ago.  From what I've read, Castrol started marketing a "partially" synthetic oil as synthetic, and was able to charge much less than Mobile.  Mobile responded by putting more non-synthetic products into Mobile 1 to compete better with Castrol on price.  I believe Royal Purple and Redline are full synthetics.

Well after this conversation It came time to change the oil.  So I picked up the Royal Purple and a Mobil 1 filter.  I reset the indicator and the light finally came up at 3750 miles.  Going to replace again with RP tomorrow before it gets hot.
