I first switched to it on a whim because Yasu Fukui (ATS USA owner) had some extra laying around that they run in their race cars (it was free the first time BTW.). True the oil doesn't have the same detergents as mass marketed ones but I change it so often that really makes little of a difference.
After seeing the car consume None after a day a LRP a few years back I bought myself a few cases directly for $38. or $39. for 12 liters, (not quarts) is what I remember so the price was not an issue. But since then the price has gone up to about $50. a case. It is a Full Synthetic Italian Racing Formula manufactured by Agip In Canada and bottled in Pa USA and used by Ferrari NA (or some such, I'll have to reread the regular pamphlets they send me).
Rodney also runs it in his Hybrid SM civic with the same results as well Yasu in both his ATS/J's CTR and ITR. We all had the comsumption issue and all had used the M1, since the switch no consumption whatsoever.
