I just ordered some special 0w-30 Mobil 1 Racing specifically for turbo and supercharged vehicles to try it out. It comes highly reccomended by a variety of race teams that are using it. At 10bucks a quart it should be.

I will most likely order a bulk shipment of it. I can't get anyone in state to get it for me. If it works really well may offer to distribute it, I have a couple people interested locally. I want to test it myself before I decide wether its worth the money.

AMSoil is good stuff too... and who cares if dealerships use Mobil 1 cause it's the cheapest in bulk to them... if Wolf's Head made synthetic, they'd use that to save some more bucks the cheap bastages...

This has been covered already in this thread:

And refer to my post in that thread, post #13, as to why you should not use the extended life mobil 1 in your car...

look, all they are saying on the back of the bottle is that it is not for high stress engines. There is nothing wrong with using the EP oils. It just that they will hold up a bit longer than your standard mobil 1. The EP oils have a much beefier additive package as opposed to standard mobil 1.
IMO, you would have to be silly to run ANY oil, extended drain or not, on a high heat, high stress, turbocharged engine. Even AMSoil says that. They normally say "Three times your manufactures recommended drain interval." I'm sure that you could do the same with mobil EP.
This is a good page for mobil 1 oils to compare the different types:

Just get your facts straight before you post nonsense.

I got the new mobil oils mixed up, and it's my mistake. The bottle I read that on was the Mobil 7500, not the EP. The EP should be fine in out cars, it's the 7500 and 5000 that won't be.

Thanks for statements like that... tired of hearing "I have 2 miles on my car, and the clutch gave out after only 5 7000RPM Dumps... oh and I'm a dumbass..." If you are a car person and know how to drive, this car is great!
Peace

Amsoil is the best, Royal Purple right there also. Mobil 1 is not a true, full synthetic....but lets look at it this way...
Imagine going squirrle hunting, and having a choice between the .50 caliber sniper rifle, the shotgun with sabot-slugs in the pipe or the 357 magnum handgun. All are going to make sure that squirrel never is in one piece again...some more than others....ALL of them are overkill in a streetcar. Mobil 1 is the easiest to access, its endorsed by mistubishi and it works very well. Anything more and you might be a bit picky. Is that bad, not at all! neither is using the recomended oil either.
