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.

[QUOTE=auxmike;216723]This stuff gives me a headache.....
My Dad gets the synth change at the Toyo dealer on the '04 Tacoma and the '06 Corolla, and I believe it IS M1. They give him a reciept so it IS warr. covered if something goes wrong.... QUOTE]Ha ha, NOPE! Dealer changes the oil, you change the oil , doesn’t matter to Toyota regional.. MOBIL is at fault and the ball would be in their court IF the oil was found to be deficient and caused the failure. And YOU are stuck in the middle, pal. Don’t be naive. Toyota won’t take the blame for it or pay the bill. Mobil1 is not a Toyota warranteed part. Call you dealer. |

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. |

"I understand this have worked for an ISO 9001 certifications, and having a house pre-purchase "inspected". "
Huh?

Using EP will not cause engine failure. It has never caused engine failure. It is too bad that there are many newbies to cars that could read your BS and think it is fact. I just hope that most of the people reading your flippant sarcastic comments see past your know-it-all attitude and lack of knowledge. And I'm not even a M1 EP user.... |

Yeah, Silverglow and Auxmike - I'm not going to tolerate this kind of verbal abuse from a couple illogical dolts. How 'bout discussing the argument points instead of going on the personal attack? I guess they have no logical argument.

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? |
