Default Alas you shall be enlightened!
I've seen the black top but I came across this at Advance Auto Parts. 32 oz = 1 qt.

Ever heard of this?

Default SuperSyn is the latest revision. Advanced forumula was two revisions ago, AFAIK. TriSynthetic was
the last. Check the API rating, what is it? SL or SJ?

Default Very high grade synthetic oil with a better detergent package than regular Mobil 1. (more)
Trucks run it for 100k+ miles between changes. It is used mostly for heavy duty trucks...but works quite well with any demanding application.<ul><li><a href="http://www.prod.mobil.com/mobil_lubes/onhighway/products_services/delvac1/specs_content.html">More info here.</a></li></ul>
