It got plenty of love when the rebate was going on! I guess for Mobil 1, not getting hate is a step in the right direction!

I also had higher than normal iron levels and higher oil consumption. I currently run 5w30 Valvoline conventional and have no startup tapping and the engine is quiet when its idling.

Interesting.

This is an old thread resurrected. Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w30 for a week now in my 88 E-150, nice and quiet. I had stopped using Mobil 1 when this thread was started, wow how times have changed.
When I used to sell used cars a few years back, whenever we ran into a car with a very quiet engine, we assumed the owner used Mobil 1. Many of them did, especially truck owners. I haven't ever noticed Mobil 1 making an engine noisier, but I guess it's possible. Chevy has no problem recommending Mobil 1 5w30 for some very hi horsepower V8s, so it can't be too bad.
Yep, that old 0W-40 M1 was no good at all. Only ran my 04 3500 van 500k miles, just think how far a GOOD oil would have gone...

Yep, I bet you would have doubled that mileage.
LOL
