Actually there is another listed among these. A Castrol full synthetic.
But like Amsoil, Castrol has always been a rare find wherever one goes. I
used Castrol in my 55 Chevy, c1960. But it was as rare then as their
synthetic seems to be today. I switched to Pennzoil back then and used it
for years after.

I find the difference in price to be of no concern, as Mobil One is as
plentiful as Pennzoil these days. And, if push comes to shove while you're
in a remote area, you can always find Mobil One in any Mobile station.
Only on rare occasion do you find Pennzoil at a gas station.
