Well I consider the price of oil as penny's so it's not a waste to me.quote:

You put $6+ /qt oil in a Honda and then mixed up the chemistry with a different viscocity, now that is a waste. [/QB]
I feel mobil-1's 30W a little on the thin side of 30 and chose to thicken it up a bit for the summer run.
Admittedly my CRV likes a thiner oil so I probably will not thicken it up next time.

I wonder when we'll see a UOA of this oil?
UOAs would be nice to see how this oil does in the real world. On paper it looks good (TBN 13.5), but how does it really hold up is the question we all would like answered.

Is there anyone running M1R willing to have a VOA done on a M1 15W-50/M1R 50/50 mix ??
I think that with the strong additive packages in both oils and more viscosity from the 15W50 it could be the ticket for many Chevy small block engines!!!
WEll or this: If anyone running M1R is willing to send me a quart, I will buy a M1 15W-50 and have Blackstone do a VOA with TBN to post here.
Pls. send me a PM if you are willing to chip the M1R in and I will do and pay for the rest

Not only a different visc, but an entirely different base oil formulation. T&SUV is not SuperSyn Base. I've heard 0w oils should not be mixed as well.

Way to dig up 2 year old threads.
But while we're on the subject, "I heard" is anecdoctal evidence and should not be presented as fact.

where does schaeffers 9000 full synthetic stand with these oils?
Mobil 1R is basically sold as a racing oil for PCMO use. Schaeffers is designed for Diesel engines and can be used as a fleet oil. It is API approved for both gas and diesel engines. Mobil 1R is not. Mobil 1R is a rare oil, no longer produced for OTC AFAIK.
