Yep. I still believe nothing beats Mobil 1 for protection. Even had
them use synthetic rear differential lube on my last change.

Some years ago I was running high rpm 2 cycle engines and experimented with
synthetic oils. It is fantastic allowing for higher rpm and no seizing that
regular oil would allow. Do I use it in my cars? No.. I've never
experienced an oil related problem in any car and I change at 7500 miles.
Regular oils are pretty good these days, as are the engines. In 48 years of
driving, I've never had a differential problem and never changed oil in one.

When I buy the more expensive bourbon, I see the benefits with every sip.
With higher priced oil, I get the same results after 150,000 miles so I
don't see spending the extra money on oil when it can go to a better grade
of bourbon.
