[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 10244460, member: 112023"] Exxon Mobil didn't cheap out on the base stock until after Hurricane Katrina. So the oil you grew up to love over the past 25 years took a sharp decline towards mediocrity in about 2005/2006. I say again, Mobil 1 is riding a reputation built up from 30 years. A lot of their current formulations do not reflect the quality you know and expect from the past. You, and everyone else who believes it's the same as it was years ago, but I assure you, it's not. How many of the vehicles listed above you remote bypass filter setups? AMSOIL ran a large 600 HP diesel truck for 409,000 miles with nothing more than filter changes and topping off the lost oil. What some people don't consider, the filter change every 15-20K miles accounted for a good amount of oil. The "top off oil" added back in a lot of additives that had previously been used. This isn't a miracle....it's called "top off oil/filter changes". It's not uncommon for those dual filters to hold 3 quarts or more of oil. Trust me when I say this....do this with the new formulations of 5W-20, 5W-30, and 10W-30 passenger car oils (NOT diesel oils) and you are in for a surprise. Diesel oils, even Mobil 1, have a lot more additives and ZDDP than their passenger car formulations. We are NOT discussing diesel oil here.....only gas passenger car oil. [/QUOTE]
