the selected oil is 5W-30, not 10W-30 we use in S2k.

 

i use it because they sell it at costco and its priced ok there

 

Its Mobil 1, not Mobile.

And personally I think they're popular because they have one of the most intensive advertising campaigns of any oil company. The oil is good quality but not exceptional and certainly not any better than synthetics from Shell or certain German formulations of Castrol Synthetic.

 

"Worth more than your house. Insured at $4 a quart."

That ad sold me.

"we"?
Speak for yourself
I'm not using that.... @%$*!)&.. molasses when cold oil.

0W-40 for me and changing to 0W-30.

Buy Dutch/British oil

 

I use it cause they have pretty bottles.

 

Weren't they the originators of synthetic? If so, everything else becomes generic. Beyer vs. acetisalicylic acid. Which would you choose if you had a choice?

 

Now I know I will be corrected if I'm wrong, but I think Amsoil was the first synthetic.

 

If thats the case, then Mobil 1 is also generic.

Some more info on synthetics
Great music too

edit : I posted this because of the history of synthetic oils.
Not because I want to promote Lube-4-Life.
After reading some about it on BITOG I guess its snake-oil.
