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

Surprise! An 'independant' study commissioned and paid for by Valvoline proves their oil is better! Wow, shocking!

Oh, another EOM stooge enters the argument, He he. You Men in Silver are everywhere. LOOK OUT! OK. Valvoline states the MOBIL 1 5W-30, available (where'd it go??) on the shelves, does not meet API SM/SL specification on samples submitted to their own lab and independent lab. NO ONE can argue this point. Now, this results from a pissing contest EOM started: Mobil said their oil was the best, Valvoline said their oil was better, Mobil said prove it, and along the way M1 was found to be deficient. Tough Cookie - take your lumps. I am a fan of NEITHER. The fist time i got improperly formulated oil it came out of a Valvioline bottle. Poured like kerosene and smelled the same.

Stooge?
Gee, I feel cheated, I only got the "moron" moniker.
Cheers mate!
