I don't know if you're thinking of me but my super-duper low mileage '05 GTO had lots of piston-slap and wear metals, and I used M1 and M1 XP more often than not...on 3k OCI.

It is your type that propagates internet myths and urban legends...you turn your subjective opinions into "fact", and I just hope most of the readers of this thread see this.
Wrong. Installed a new motor for a guy that had a blown motor in his chevy p/u; he used M1 on every single OC.

Thats why GM and Porsche ditched m1 as factory fill - since it works so freaking good. Blame the API and the Feds though, they are the ones who reduced/removed the PROVEN extreme pressure anti-seize additive package so cats would live 150K miles without clogging at the expense piston and cam wear. Just go talk to the mechanic who have blown motors laying outside the dealership about chewed up cams and pistons with scored and collapsed skirts. Subaru, Mitsi, Chevy have MAJOR problems with piston slap now - but good statistical data is "covered up" because the industry is trying to deal with the issue "quietly", If you dig enough you will find API powerpoints online thats show you whats going on. If you run current spec "emissions" SM oil in a classic engine it will be all done in a few thousand miles - check resto sites - the mechanics are frantic. Run it in a VW Audi Porsche and you void the warranty. Good stuff, huh?

And you are a Mobil rep too right? - the MAN ... the MAn in Brown?

Every runs their favorite team so nothing I say will change that. Live and learn the hard way guys.

sonjas bro
I just forwarded your lies to Pennzoil legal department, same for Mobil Oil. Now lets see you show your "proof" because you are damaging their reputation with no credible facts.

And no, I don't work for any oil company. I actually use Walmart's SuperTech cheapo full synthetic...

You better get a lawyer fast. I saved the cache of this thread too.

That is not proof! Did you attend college? You have yet to show any proof that the blown engine was caused by Mobil1. You like to spew macho automotive lies. Lets hope the readers of this thread see past your bravado bunk...

Troll, the engine damage was oil related, and he used Mobil1, that's all I know about the customer and what the engine rebuilder claimed about the core.

You do realize that the new SM rating was created to replace the old SL rating that contained too much friction modifiers ...wow, protect those cats...[pause]...with a reduction in those engine friendly friction modifiers!!

I may be wrong, but I believe that's the point being made by thesilkysmooth, which is btw based on fact.

ps You're not STILL using 0w-20 in your 1NZ-FE Yaris, or are you? Probably voiding your warranty since you chose to ignore Toyota's TSB.

MOBIL 1 SUCKS DONKEY

Actually, I am running the Mobil CLEAN 5000 for break-in in my Yaris which is just about complete. Yes, I have not been a MOBIL fan of late, but this oil seems reasonable. It may need a little BOOST around 3K which I do in the way of draining a litre then topping off with fresh. That way the add-pack is replenished and you are good to go to the 5000.
