Gotta love how they cross-sell against their own products. Two check marks no less for the M1! Originally Posted By: Roy Gutfinski From the Mobil.com US website: http://www.mobil.us/USA-English-LCW/carengineoils_product-comparison-chart.aspx Click the Compare to Mobil 1 button for a more...

Has anyone ever seen a long-term test of the effect of synthetics vs. convetional oil? While it would be hard to get two engines exposed to the exact same real-world usage, what about any kind of labarotory test under controlled ciscumstances simulating, say, 100,000 or 200,000 miles of driving...

Hmm - thanks to all for the info. Just reading up on the Pentosin. Wonder if they have a grade for my 5.4 liter Triton V8. I see all Euro specs there.

Wondering if synthetic suffers any less than conventional w/ the idling. I opten spend 20-30 minutes stock still idling while The Missus does errands. Usually have the kids in the car and the AC on max so I really can't shut it off due to the ambient temp.

What is it about the design/manufacture of the VW engine that permits a factory-recommended 10,000 mile OCI?

Been experimeneting and I tried Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax then a coat of Ultimate Detailer - that is the smoothest finish I have ever seen. Looking carefully at in different light I have to say the depth of the shine exceeds my heretofore fave combo of Zaino Z6 followed by Z8. And at...

So what happens to the oil over time, that mileage alone would not do? The engine is run daily.

Thanks for the info - I guess I can save a few $$$ on the next oil change.

I am wondering now if I could use dino and a cellulose filter for this 6,000/yr. annual oil change....

I now he's not. Just poining out that they specify Dawn to strip it down. Presume it will strip off and and all wax/polymer, etc.

It was 1978.... "Never wax your car again!" Man , that stuff sucked dirt out of the air and fused it to my car.

I could hardly move my shoulders after hours of Zaino prep, waiting, buffing, layering, buffing. Great stuff but labor-intensive and just too rich for my budget these days.

You make an important point re: total amt. of media vs. filtering capacity.

It will strip everything off - Dawn is indeed what Zaino recommends prior first to application of their products.

Hmmm - PYB in Charlotte North Carolina was $14.50 for the 5 qt. today. Originally Posted By: KeithKman Mobil Super $12 Mobil Super HM $13.50 Pennzoil $15.64 PP $24.12 M1 $24.50 M1 EP $28 Max Life $17.88 All prices are 5 quart jugs as of today April 10, 2011. I would like to add there was no...
