At least 5 years of usage at 50% discount, I would do it if I am shopping for snow tires.

There was a shortage a couple of years ago, didn't know this is happening again. Wonder if this is a Gen II BRZ/86 only or across their lineup.

Brake rotors don't actually "warp", that's a misnomer (https://alconkits.com/blogs/news/the-real-truth-about-warped-brake-rotors). The vibration is caused by uneven deposit of brake material onto the rotor which leads to uneven contact between the pad and rotor when braking. I think your issue...

I think that is from the pad material being transferred to the rotor. With most cars, you can replace the pads and just resurface the rotors but normally, not the other way around as in replacing the rotors and keep the old pads on.

I would replace them.

Not that it really matters but wondering if this partnership will continue next season with Honda. Also wondering if this will trickle down to their dealerships/street cars.

Even know you quoted me, but you obviously still missed the "IMO" in the quote. There is no need to get personal here and in OP's case, the oil has been in the engine for 2 years with a little over 1K miles which some would argue that it is worse than fresh oil just sitting in the engine with no...

IMO, the oil in the beaker should be considered as a control sample. It does not reflect the contaminants that's in the oil after it has been cycle through the engine, even with minimal use.

Again, I disagree. But I respect your opinion and how you wish to take care of your own vehicles.

I disagree. I belong to the camp of 5K miles or once a year interval. IMO, oil will degrade with time, it is more economically feasible to change the oil once a year than dealing with potential issues.

From the looks of it, I guess not. It is not about one car in particular, just curious as to what the progression is from one generation of Mobil 1 oil to the next.

Did not realize that there were two different ESP oil at the same time, just thought they are just replacement of the older version. Thanks.

The problem is that I don't think the approvals follow the oil once it is rebranded. For example, the ESP x 3 0W-40 has a lot more approval than the Super Car 0W-40 does but they are the same oil.

Thank you. However, isn't the ESP x 3 the one that became Super Car? According to Mobil, the new ESP 0W-40 is ESP x 4. https://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/for-personal-vehicles/our-products/products/mobil-1-esp-x4-0w-40
