Oil change question

Hi, I am using Mobil One synthetic oil for previous oil changes on my G and would like to change to the Castrol syntetic. In Castrol which one is really best synthetic oil? Syntec, GTX or EDGE? It is very confusing... Also any experience using one vs another? Thanks!

The best thing to do is delete this thread and go read one of the thousands of oil threads in the oil section.

Castrol Edge 5w30 is what I use in our G37s. Mobil1 has changed their formula over the last 2 years to want to use it any longer as its not as good as it used to be. I use 5w30 Edge in all 6 of our cars including my 800 rwhp blown Z06.

The Vette is supercharged if that comment was to me. The G is my wife's driver so I don't mess with it cept for putting gas in it for her sometimes.
