    Did I miss something?
    Last time that I changed my oil, Mobil 1 Extended Performance 10W-30 (Synthetic), I noticed that the API logo was on the bottle.

    I am still trying to decide what oil to switch to, since my 3000 mile mark is coming up soon.

        i usually run 10w30 royal purple in my car, i switched to Mobil 5w30 once and my valvetrain sounded horrible, i tore my whole block apart and then switched to Royal Purple no more noise, i'll never switch again

          i would imagine i can fix this with a tune right?

            Even Royal Purple's standard motor oil says that it is API certified.
