NEW Mobil 1 High Mileage LOL

I bought a 5w30 M1 supersyn high mileage in western canada $30cnd for 5.4L, just changed the oil on my nissan 350z (with low mileage). I dont think it would hurt - anyone with any comments
edit to my last post - M1 10w30 HM not 5w30
IMHO Mobil would have to be the least no-nonsense.
after approx 1500 mi - from what I can see down the oil fill hole the M1 HM stuff is actually cleaning the varnish off. It used to be dark varnishy color before and now its bright clean alum color
Do we really need 101 types of Colgate toothpast and 101 types of Mobil-1 to match? Have the marketing people gone bonkers or what ?????
Sounds like the market for shavers!
The last time I checked Mobil1 HM oil was not SM rated, while many other HM oils were SM rated.
Oils are purpose built. No one quality synthetic oil can be great for all things. This one swells seals more than regular M1, has more cleaning ability (API SL; lots of additives; likely more esters and/or akylated napthalene), and is thick for the viscosity grade (to reduce oil consumption via both higher viscosity and lower volatility). It also appears to use really good basestocks in the 10W-30 HM version, based on its combined high and low temp viscometrics.
The New Mobil 1 10w30HM PDS is out.

I don't like that viscosity at 40c, that's way too thick for my tastes. Most 10w30s are closer to 65cst.
10W-30 HM is functionally like a thin 40 weight and should not shear at all. The 10W-40 HM is functionally like a medium to thick 40 weight and might shear some.
Why would one be in business if not to make money? Is that not the objective of a business, non-profits aside? Good marketing is part of business. I wouldn't even want to deal with a business that was not profit motivated, for obvious reasons. I think a major player in the oil market would be foolish not to jump into the "high mileage" arena at this point.
I plan on using M1 HM 10w30 in my autocrossed 2001 Subaru 2.5RS because of the higher viscosity and extra anti-wear additives. I had been using 3 qts M1 EP 10w30 and 1 M1 20w50.
I think it will be perfect for this application.

I mean't to say: I had been using 3 qts M1 EP 10w30 and 1 M1 15w50. I have been awake too long.

I just started using M1 10w-40 High Mileage in my motorcycle--calls for 10w-40, so I figure I'm okay. Any concerns?
