OK...I did receive a reply to my email that I sent to Mobile yesterday. They did defend their oil against all of the accusations made about engine failure due to viscosity breakdown etc,etc.
I followed up with a phone call this morning to Matt Jacob....the head customer service tech guy.
I am no oil expert by a long shot. But, I am a little more educated today.
This guy is sharp. Also runs a Mustang Cobra, supercharged with 650hp.....uses 8,000 oil change intervals.
Bottom line.....I will continue to use Mobile 1...0-40 weight.
Now what I thought was interesting was the oil that is being used in racing applications. Penske uses a full syn 0-30 weight in his Nascar and IRL cars! And there are teams that use a 0-20 weight.
The reason for this is to reduce friction and improve gas milage....All without increased wear or breakdown due to heat.
The other 60 percent of NASCAR that uses Mobile 1...unsponsored, use off the shelf 15-50 weight.
Let the debate continue.
