1k should suffice. It doesn't take terribly long to seat the rings these days.

Mobil 1 Oil Users - Mobile1 is no longer a true synthetic.

(New to some, old to others.)

Those numbers dont substantiate your claims. Post something other than your oil analysis sheet before you make a claim like that against Mobil 1. I am sending them a copy of that posting to them and letting them respond to it.

Terry, do some more research and you will see there is some true merit to the claim. Lots of talk about it at www.bobistheoilguy.com. A few years ago, Mobil1 flaunted the fact that they were a true Group IV synthetic. That abruptly changed, and they would only say things like "Mobil1 is made of a propriatary blend of many high quality synthetic fluids" No comments about what "grade" of synthetic they are using now.
