Even tho that is still a quart in a half he burned 
Is Mobil 1 5w30 really crap?
amsoil has consistantly had better results vs leading synthetic oils in . oh, by the way,, ive never seen an amsoil commerical, i actually dont think they advertise by anything but word of mouth and maybe an occasional raceday banner (could be wrong, ive just never seen any advertising)

Very true, I think with mobile 1 three+ dollars of that five+ dollars goes towards there marketing. Every time you turn around you see a commerical, banner, ad in mag ect.
There is nothing wrong with M1. Its just not the top dog anymore there are better choices at very competiave price some are even cheaper than m1. I personally run Penzoil platinum 10w30 I was running german castrol but it became hard to come by.
I do not think he has a problem with the brand or weight of oil he is using with oil consumption that high there is something that is not right with the engine. I think he will have high oil use no matter what is in the engine. Are you sure it is 2 quarts in 1500 miles?

Yea thats what what dad told me. 2 qts! But I am wondering in the the back of my mind if the kid at Jiffy lube or wherever he went just put 5 qrts in instead of the 5.5 qts
Damn, I never knew that mobil 1 didn't do as well as most people say it does. My car has 116k miles on it now, and burns about 1/2 quart every 3k miles. After all the research i think i'll switch to either RP or pennzoil platinum. I'm pretty sure that no one will have Amsoil here in college station.
buddy of mine was running mobil 1 5w30

broke engine down..........not a scare on any cylinder walls.....

He's not trying to run 87 or 89 octane in it, is he? My Camaro had the same oil consumption issues with Synthetic but thats because I was trying to run mid grade. As soon as I put 93 in it it ceased my consumption problem.
