For numerous years, I have been running Castrol Syntech, their product have protected the drivelines in our vehicles without fault. That being said, today while doing an oil change, I found the British Petroleum "BP" logo on the back side of the bottles, until then, I did not realize that Castrol was a "BP" brand.

In short, I am mad as heck at BP's failure to stop their blowout leak in the Gulf of Mexico, as a result I can no longer fund them through buying their products. No, I am not a "green weenie", keep drilling with proper safety precautions rather than excuses and payoffs to the US government which is also complicit in this disaster!

So, what synthetic lubricants are you using/recommending? The one at the top of my list at this time is Royal Purple. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I hate it when a valid technical decision I have made in the past becomes untenable on a moral level.
