Ran Mobil 1 in my '86 Saab 900 from the start. The engine at 200,000 miles did not need any oil added with 5000-6000 mile oil changes. Too bad the body rusted away and the headliner drooped. I am still driving my '82 Volvo turbo, which has had Mobil 1 from the start. The seals around the turbo are leaking after 18 years and that is why I have to add 1/2 quart to make it to 5000 mile oil changes. I guess I should not complain about that oil consumption in an 18 year old car. BRC wrote: > Just switched to synthetic about a month ago (2,000 miles) on my '93 > 9000 with 140,000 miles. No oil leaks so far.
