Synthetic oil comparison on Dyno

Came across this video on youtube.

Almost 16 hp difference between the best and worst oil.

I've been using Mobil 1 since I got my Acura but maybe I should change to Castrol or Royal Purple?

They did the same test on a different vehicle and now the results are different.

That test is not valid since its from Australia and their toilet bowls flush in reverse.

I am going to suggest a search of the sub-forums for oil, oil comparison, and so on. There are TONS of topics discussing this. I want to say these vids have been posted before as well...
