I'm a proponent of synthetic oil for 931's and I have been using Mobil One synthetic for for years. I ran across Driven Racing Oil Synthetic HR. and am looking it as another possibility. Supposedly it has a higher ZDDP content which should help protect our cams and lifters. What do you think?

I usually use Mobile 1, but also put in a quart of Dura Lube in. I've accidentally ran an engine dry on another car once and this stuff saved my bacon. Ever since then i been using it on all my cars, no problems ever since. *knock on wood*
