Castrol SYNTEC Blend 5W30 quart [/align] Added protection for frequent short trips.

Most likely, your owner's manual warns about "severe" driving conditions such as stop and go traffic, towing and hauling, extreme temperatures and frequent short trips. These "severe" driving conditions can tear apart your motor oil, weakening its ability to protect your engine and ultimately resulting in premature wear.


That's why there's Castrol SYNTEC BLEND, the only synthetic blend engineered with Castrol conventional oil and SYNTEC molecular components. SYNTEC BLEND provides an added level of protection versus conventional oils, enabling it to withstand the extreme stress caused by these severe driving conditions.
[*]Exceeds all car and light truck manufacturers' warranty requirements for the protection of gasoline and turbocharged engines where API SL, SJ or SH is required.[*]Exceeds European engine tests, Japanese wear tests and the engine protection requirements of ILSAC GF-3 for API Certified Gasoline Engine Oils.

"Blends" are a mixture of conventional and synthetic oil. There is absolutely no advantage to them, they're just a marketing gimmick.

Fully synthetic Syntec still isn't as good as Mobile 1 anyway and it costs more. Head to Walmart and pick up some Mobile 1 fully synthetic 5W-30 imo. It's the best product for the money that I've found.
