Check out this thread http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/...1;t=010816;p=1
Just because something is recommended doesn't necessarily mean its the best. It also does not specifically say that Mobil 1 is required. He’s just going by what many others have found when M1 is analyzed.

I like the 10w-30 turbo oil it is a diester, but it is a SJ oil and Mitsubishi wants a SL oil, may be a Warranty issue for me.

Mobil 1 Extended Performance 15W-50 is also well suited for weekend racers who are interested in outstanding engine protection for racing engines and are looking for a higher viscosity oil.

I use the German Castrol 0W-30 that Zmeli is talking about, because the comparison data between the GC and Mobil 1 says so.......
