The absurdity came to it's pinnacle when demarpaint asked me if I was there when Ford did their testing.

Your own vitriolic posts, if you go back and read them, are embarassing for an "established" member.

You seem to be happy with the little clique you've got going, and since you're all so oblivious to your contradictions, biased views and unanalytical methods, you clearly deserve each other.

They are coming to get you.

Read the article in Blackstones about towing, as it does no real harm if you are sensible in terms of what gear you are in (Listen to the engine and watch for smoke)and have a cooling system fit for the job.
It can be bad news for the clutch and gearbox or auto, so change the box oil more often than normal, as most failed boxes I have seen had really bad oil in them.

Well here is the proof that Trav was looking for.

Mobil do not give their 0w20 3 ticks for engine life and wear protection.

This is conclusive proof that Mobil are running away from 20 weight oils


That's just trolling, Trav isn't even in this thread. A bit juvenile if you ask me.

Agreed. I saw him trying to bait trav elsewhere too. Maybe it's a man crush. Dunno?


Man crush, that's pretty scary. I hope not, but this is the Internet and you never know.

I also noticed that AFE gets 3 checks vs. 2 checks for regular Mobil 1 in the high temp. and low temp. protection areas. I agree with Buster that it most likely contains more PAO which would account for that.

What I find interesting is that all varieties receive 'only' 2 checks for sludge protection....which is one of Mobil 1's traditional 'bragging points'. (I realize that the whole check mark concept can lead to over speculation like what we are currently doing).

Remember when Mobil 1 advertised "Nothing outperforms Mobil 1"....I guess that was until EP came along....

Well the EP is supposed to be the best oil they make,isn't it?
As far as the AFE line it's an older formulation,unless they have updated it with visom and I would expect it to be better in the cold simply because it's supposed to be a bit thinner on the grade scale,hense improving fuel economy due to less fuel being consumed with pumping losses.
After this run of PP I'm going to give the AFE a shot in my hemi,even though I hate the company it seems as though they haven't cheapened this line with visom yet. -40 is coming and the AFE line is a good product on paper.

Wow.

There is a technical term for this. "Unhinged."
