Also be advised that you're probably not getting good value from Mobil 1 anymore. So far as a I can tell most (if not all) Mobil 1 oils are now 'hydrocrack' oils, and not real synthetics. There's nothing wrong with hydrocrack per se, except that it is marketed and /priced/ much too high for what it is - which is just a better more highly processed conventional oil. A good oil yes, an expensive oil no. They're making wicked margin off of it. There are places in the world (Germany is the most notable example) where it's actually illegal to sell this stuff as 'synthetic', which I think is telling.

There are better deals in synthetic oil, that's all.
