Another thread that is explaining Mobil wow every month at times what is it with this stuff????
Mobil 1 vs Pennzoil Platinum 10k OCI

Mobil 1 for over 120k miles in a VW Cabrio (one of my cars), owned since new, went to Mobil 1 about 3k miles from new, and never once had to add a drop between changes ever. No leaks, no issues, nothing. Those cars were known to have issues too.
Use either with confidence. Out of these two neither are superior and buy what is on sale unless you have a brand loyalty.
My parents have a tahoe that just rolled 300k miles and it has been filled with M1 since mile 0. It consumes absolutely no oil.

+1....Have used both M1 and PP in my Focus over the last 5 years I've owned the vehicle. Never once has there been any issues in my 2.3 Duratec engine. I've never added a drop...and there is no leakage.
I am currently on my 2nd fill of PP 5w20 (very pleased)....but my next OC will be M-1 0w20. If it works well (I'm sure it will), I plan on making it my permanent oil.

I doubt the protection is any better, but the Pennzoil and Shell oils tend to run a lot quieter for the same grade in my experience. Of all of them M1 tend to produce the most noise, Pennzoil the least.

No matter what people try to tell you a vehicle should consume no oil. Try a zddp additive maybe that will help the gasket the m1 ruined. Anybody that feels different I don't care, I change oil on 40+ cars a day and by far m1 makes all vehicles use oil, I work at a quick lube for last 5 years so out of anybody I can tell you more horror stories and the truth about synthetic and m1.
Our Prius hadn't used any oil until I put in Mobil Super Syn this time...I thought it was just because it was 5w20, but you may be on to something...

This is one of the most ignorant posts I've ever read, and I'm not even a Mobil 1 fan. The fact that you work at a quick lube pretty much discounts anything you post, its not something to be proud of. You should try reading more, and learning from others who know, instead of spouting nonsense, and recommending snake oil additives.

Yeah...as the OP, I blocked this guy on about his second post. I think this thread got away from it's original intent, and that is possibly my fault. It was not intended to decide which one to use, as I use both with confidence. I was just wondering why, NOACK values etc, a vehicle that uses no oil on M1, would use a half qt (negligible I know) on a different brand. In the end, it does not matter, I keep a close eye on everything, and it will never be an issue. Just an innate curiosity, a desire for information. I don't see any need to carry this any further, and I thank all for their input.

Not in my case. M1 in either HM or AFE hasn't burned a single drop in the Tacoma. Mu changes range from 5000-7000 miles.

....Sigh, This kind of nonsense is what gives quick lube guys a bad name. I own and operate one, and I come on this site to expand my knowlege, not try to swing my [censored] around about how much I know about oil.
Anyways, back to the post. M5w20 in my vulcan with no issues. Its consuming about 1/4 every 6k OCI with 82k on the clock.

I didn't know this was possible to do. Good for you. I notice most people haven't even bothered acknowledging his post, probably due to it's sheer ridiculousness.

jiffy lube tech post not totally off, just 30 years or so behind the times. there was a time, late 70s and during the 80's, switching oils could affect the seals and cause leaks. this often, if not always, happened when switching from to dino to m1. advances in oil and gaskets have eliminated this.
