Mobil-1 5W-30 does not meet SM/SL standards? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Silky(s) - no need to get all huffy about it. Just read that article you posted carefully.. Notice anything peculiar? Hint: Marketers...

The bottom line is that someone using Mobil 1, Valvoline or any other oil and who also does regular oil changes and doesn't beat the crap out of the car will be able to drive it until the thing falls apart. Who cares if my 200K engine has slightly more wear than someone else's 200k engine. The thing has served its purpose and it's time to get a new car!

And please... like you didn't know your post would stir things up?
