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

EOM stooge? I don't give a crap whose oil is better. I treat most all studies with suspicion - especially those where the competition pays someone else to test the other's product. The only ones worth paying attention to are those performed by people with no skin in the game.

Money talks - that's all this is - and it's how the world works.

Companies that perform a service for a fee are far more likely to come out in favor of the servicee's desired result. Why? Because if they want to stay in business and get future business from a given company they will give positive results. It wouldn't make sense to keep paying a company that says your product is crap.
