Anyone else using Castrol Magnatec 20W-50? Since I put it in the engine has been running A LOT quieter! When driving with windows down and radio off, you can barely tell if it's idling. The sound from the in-tank fuel pump and exhaust is louder.

Pretty good for the price....$197 @ Dollar Savers, most places sell it for around 230/ gallon. 10W 30 I use.

$230? Pricesmart has it for $175
The 10W-30 you're using is Magnatec as well? Where'd you get it? Next oil change is either 15W-40 or 10W-30 for me.
Total 9000 is a group 3 synthetic. Which means it's classed as a synthetic, but actually starts it's life as a group 2 or group 1 mineral oil. Has additives and is very highly processed to make the synthetic classification.
For most cars, that should be more than fine.
Higher priced oils like Redline are actually man made, and use only full synthetic components. They are group 4 based oils.

Any reviews on the Total 9000? It's a full synthetic right?
