oil nut or chemE?

Mobil 1 is the best period. I'm a true believer my Dad did and experiment with his truck to only use Mobil 1 10w30 on his 2000 Tundra, he drives 3000 miles a month from iKnoxville, TN to Louisiana 12hr drive. He has 230 thousand miles and when they took the valve covers off it looked like new. It also don't break down like regular dino juice, and doesn't break down to heat the way typical oil does. My 2 cents.

A little of both. I majored in ChemE for a couple years, but ended up with a CS degree.
