Mobil 1 Myths/Rumors

[brickhardmeat]

I am sticking with conventional oil and changing at 5,000 mile intervals. I am not sold on synthetics.

If you check the Used Oil Analysis Lab results (UOA), you will be sold, but to be fair, using long Oil Change Intervals with Synthetic is not wise during warranty periods, just to be safe...but after 3 years or 36k miles, I plan to use Mobil1 EP 5W20 and change the oil every 10,000 miles...the science and the proof are on my side....

you are missin out on HP, MPG, Throttle responce, better shifting

run AMSoil 0w-30 in the engine and 75w90 in the manual trans, your car will love you, and it will love you back

Drive to Toledo, I will let you drive my car and prove to you synthetics are better

I noticed a difference in throttle response and MPG when I switched over to synthetic. I've run it in all my vehicles (except my $80 beater '77 corolla) and their engines ran great for many miles.
