I know that if I continue to run AFE I won't run into problems, and perhaps it might be overkill if I use EP or AP, however this is an oil message board, and I've considered myself a bit of an oil nut for a long time now, so I'm always searching for the latest info on possible better choices (even if they may not be 100% necessary for my situation)
I am not saying your engine or anyone else's is going to grenade in 50,000 miles using Mobil oils, all I am saying is, there are far better oils out there for a lot less money that do an even better job at protecting than what Mobil-1 oils do.
Like you, I am also an oil nut, and maybe a little more frugal than the next guy, but that is why I switched from Mobil over to Pennzoil as it didn't sit well with me seeing UOA after UOA with higher than average wear metals in Mobil UOAS.
Personally, it is none of my business what anyone chooses to use, but I get my fur up when I read how great Mobil oil is when the fact of the matter is, it isn't anything like they claim it is.
You have not made the case … you don’t know how and just can’t ~ example; the guy you have been debating with has the most miles on this site … know how he got there?
Not PP or wasting money on UOA”s that’s for sure …
Quit exaggerating to make a point you don’t have …
