As for the Mobil 1 not being true synthetic, he's full of it. It is true synthetic oil just like the Amsoil. He can feel it being faster? LOL...sure.
Agree 100%. a long time ago i had a Dodge Daytona Shelby Z. Bone stock. Used every day for my daily commute. Apx 100 miles a day. The car had regular oil changes with Mob 1. Some time north of 150,000 it blew a head gasket. When it was opened up my mechanic was impressed how spotless it was inside. Also if anybody out there dosnt remember those little Chryslers were on a regular basis puking turbos around 60,000 miles. When I got rid of it, it was north of 180,000 miles on the original turbo and never burned any oil or smoked. This was enough for me. Mob 1 always.
