Re: Mobil 1 Synthetic - worth the cost? I use just the cheapest 5-30 I can get my hands on! <img src="gr_emb.gif" border="0"> But I change it at 3000 miles religously! <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> I bought this car brand new in March of 2000 with 3.9 miles on the odometer It presently has 21,000 problem free miles also I have over 440 1320 passes on this car and 120 dyno pulls! I test-n-tune every weekend at New England Dragway! I would have to say the cheap chit has not let me down! <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0">

Even if you didn't change the oil at all, the engine would not fail at 21k.

Re: Mobil 1 Synthetic - worth the cost? Don't forget the added macho appeal of being able to say "Why yes, I use Synthetic in my ride...and you?" <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

Re: Mobil 1 Synthetic - worth the cost? I use royal purple in the z and mobil in the focus.Your car is an invetment so you want it to last as long as it can.I deliver pizzas so I know how important it is to keep the car in tip top shape.Dont cheat yourself with cheapy oil cause you will pay for it in the long run just like cheap gas and cheap parts etc... you get the picture.
