Hilarious.....Where in Michigan do you live? I might know her.

Astro, I went to MM.net to look for that post to see what the locla guys ad to say about OAI and I could not find the post. Can you post the inek to that original thread? Don

Dlgnnc, I just saw this post today for the first time. I had a 99 CV LX and now have a 2002 CV LX sport. Both have the 3:27 open gearand both call for Motorcraft 75W140 synth lube. I ran the old series 2000 75W90 in the 99 for 30,000 miles or so and am now running the sever gear 75W90 in my...

An animated Corvette at that......You know, this part of the marketing is dumb. If Vette's come with Mobil-1 and say "use Mobil-1" on the oil fill cap of the car, why would they suggest to Vette owners that they could use Mobil drive clean 5000 for $1.58 per qt vs. $5.99 per qt of Mobil 1...

I would say 0W30 as it has a smaller viscosity spread. Hence fewer viscosity improvers. Therefore, better. Assuming that are talking the same brand and same additive packages. Don

I think the numbers look great. I have a couple of questions 1) Did Blackstone do the VOA? 12.3 is a great starting TBN but it sounds more like an OAI value rather than a Blackstone value. 2) How did you get the columns on that spread sheet to come out so nice? Everytime I try the columns...

Amen Brotha... It sounds like you have been having a blast. I have never been to VIR but it is on my list of "tracks that I must drive". I am sure you will be more comfortable once you get the cooler installed. Good Luck and keep the shiny side up. Don

Your comment in paragraph 1 doesn't hold as much water anymore. The new EP Mobil-1 is selling for $5.99 per qt. in my area. The preferred customer price for ASL 5W30 is $4.85 ($4.60 in 12 qt case quantities) so even after freight charges it is a better deal than the latest M1, and it has always...

I bought some Mobil Drive Clean 5000 just yesterday. I knew it was a dino oil and I bought it specifically for use with Auto-Rx. The main reason I bought it was that it was on sale for $1.58/qt at my local Advance AP store. The 15000 Mobil-1 by the way was $5.99. After looking at the bottle, I...

That is pretty hot and an oil cooler is probably in order. Are you actually Racing or is this simply a driver's ed? Does the car cool down pretty quickly when you back out of it? Until you get your oil cooler, you might try shifting at 1000 rpm less. Using 5th or 6th on long straights...

I am in camp #2

It looks like a pretty good report to me as well. I agree with others that Blackstone's TBN test typically yeilds a lower than other labs. Check it again at 10000 or so and watch the drop in TBN. I believe the change in TBN is more of an indicator of depletion than the actual value. It will...

This is my understanding as well.

Z06, And you think this statement: "The main thing that stands out on this, our final Amsoil sample, is the ridiculous viscosity. This 5W30 oil has now thickened out to a 15W40 -- argue whether it matters if you like, but we believe engine builders spec an oil for a reason, and this oil is...

This is agood report for a Ford 4.6. FWIW, I have had better viscosity control with ATM 10W30 in my 4.6 Crown Vic vs. ASL 5W30. Don

I think Mobil is after the soccer moms and unknowing dads who want "only the best" for their beloved vehicle. They have heard synthetic oil is good, Mobil-1 is the most widely known brand of synthetic, and BOOM they make one specifically for SUVs. It HAS to be the best. I give them credit for...

This is an interesting thread although I see no surpirses. I do have a couple of comments. I agree with Too Slick that many short trips with frequent warm ups (regardless of ambient temperature) would be a tougher test on the oil than the apparent 24/7 operation that Mobil's testing seemed to...

If the average Joe drives 3000-5000 mile intervals I absolutley agree. If however, some average Joe wants to get the most for his money by extending the drain interval to 10000 miles and beyond, at least an occasional UAO is required. I tend agree with Pablo on the 25,000 miles drain...
