All the synthetics you mentioned are good oils. Most of
my experience are with man made hydrocarbon oils like
Mobil1. I have an '86 Mazda B2000 pickup that uses absolutely
NO OIL with 217,000 miles and all its had is Mobil1. Redline
is a great polymer based oil and this summer I'm going to do
some minor testing (playing) with Royal Purple for mpg sake.
These 2 are expensive and I'll probably just mix the RP with
Mobil1. I'm not going to spend $50-60 bones on 5 qts. of this
stuff. Anyway this is the Daks synthetic layout.

Engine - Mobil1 10w30 (soon to be mixed 60/40 with RP)
       
tranny - Redline MTL 50/50 mix w/Mopar fluid (manual)

Axle - Amsoil 75w90 (soon to be Redline)

I still feel Amsoil is a fine oil but I am unsure if
its a polymer. I'm switching to Redline for the rear
axle because it is a polymer and absolutely will not
break down. It just gets dirty.
