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.

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.

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.

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.
