Why would I take pictures of a guy pouring oil into an engine? Does it make you feel better or something, to bash the **** out of Mobil 1? If so (which I suspect), I suggest you get a life
A picture is worth a thousand words.
FTR- *I* am not bashing Mobil 1, just relaying the experienced opinion of someone who actually knows something. Does that upset you? I can show 3 blown M1 engines in just one shop. 25 years a master Audi Mechanic and his father, 40 years a master BMW mechanic, but you know better then them.

Every car produced in the factory in Stuttgart gets its first oil from Mobil 1. And that means that all our cars and engines are developed with that product."
Geeman, I hear you and that is exactly the kind of thing I would say to my mechanic, he would smile and say "that is bull". Mobil oil *componets*, true...a custom blend. BTW that is the Motorsport director, possibly street cars get M1 too, I would use it on the street as a 0w-40, but it is naive to think actual Euro race cars run on 15w-50, it is not even available in Europe and would be scoffed at in comparison to what they have there. Again, their race car is covered in M1 propaganda and the director adheres to the company line. 1 word, sponsorship. Few people HERE think M1 15w-50 (a multiweight, ha!) is the best oil in the world, regardless of what marketing says. IMO, people come here to Bob's wanting to cut through the marketing bullshitt and would rather hear 1st or 2nd hand accounts of, God forbid, Mobil NOT being very good in the Real World.
