Mobil 1 5w30 dose not meet API SM spec
Hey guys, Its been a while since I have been here.
I thought you all would be intrested in this new info.
I am a member over at BITOG, and this is the new hot topic-
Ashland(Valvoline has not only claimed to have 4x better wear protection than mobil 1, but they claim Mobil 1 5w30 DOSE NOT meet API SM specs.

***note I am not saying Mobli 1 dose not meet the specs, I am just relaying info.

Oh my god. There's an entire website devoted to arguing over what oil is better.
And I thought the RX-8 crowd was bad about oil.
If this is true, it doesn't surprise me. Many companies these days spend much more money on marketing rather then on engineering a better product.

I just read that whole thread; WOW!
I'm going to keep observing this. Of course most people here know that I'm a Red Line kind of guy anyhow. Neither of these oils hold a candle to the exotic boutique blends (The real synthetics) like Amsoil and Red Line.
Paul.
