M1 is the worst oil you can buy. i wouldnt put it in my lawn mower. do a search on this site for the test results and oil analysis results. M1 is absolute garbage, worse then many cheapo no-name dino oil.

given the choice, use RP. personally i use German Castrol.

Are you serious? M1 is excellent oil and to say anything else is pure bullshit. No mineral based oil can compare, show me one of your oil analysis results from a proven source not your friends, cousins, dads best friend Jimmy...his next door neighbor

if you buy into that garbage, thats your problem. M1's popularity is all marketing, NOTHING more.

Hell, I though Mobil 1 was good stuff, never heard anyone say anything negative towards it.
