Is the meme that the highest quality oil is Mobil 1 legit or is that just good marketing? Are other oil brands- Penzoil, Castrol, etc. comparable?

Just think about how impossible it is to test how the oil effects the engine. All you really have to go off is how accurate the label is and if some race car uses the same in a car with the same style of engine (turbo/NA).
This is bc the race car is always going 100% and they would ditch any oil that was failing to keep the engine cool and running.

any full syntheic oil is good. old man well a few said all oil is the same comes from the same base stock, only difference is some add different additives to each other and some probably are the same using a other manufactuers oil under license, many no name brands do that.
castrol edge is a good one to use as well.
but any brand full synthetic oil is good, just google the company and see how long they have been around and who owns them as mobil is owned and operated by exxon the same company behind the exxon valdez oil spill, they trade as exxon / mobil, one country they trade as Pacific petroleum.
just google everything and look for the wiki for each brand. that should help out.

this. The dude that runs the blog is full of himself, and autistic as fuck, but he produces good info if you can get past the "I AM THE OIL GOD" nonsense.

Oil companies change their formulations all the time. And the newest formulation is not always the best performing one as some empirical tests by users have shown. What this means is that the oil that people say is great might be surpassed by another oil in six months to a year later. But then the oil might inexplicably go back down in quality if the competition decreases. The sales of motor oil is a sort of cash flow business after all.
