$3.50/qt - both fully synthetic.

	At last years Monterey Historics, the salesman for Motul convinced me to

	get some 15-50 racing oil (at half price), stating that it was made with

	"esters", and had better lubricity and shear strength. I just bought 
	some more at Sears Point Raceway, and had to pay OVER EIGHT DOLLARS per 
	liter.

	Is Motul in fact that much better than the ones mentioned below?--Worth 
	the extra cost?
