Yeah, well...

I've stuck with Mobil 1, through thick-and-thin, no pun intended - for 8 years - and I *think* 3 major reformulations - 2 for sure!

I *know* it's NOT the best synthetic motor oil - but it's available in every corner automotive store and supermarket in America. The best synthetic motor oil would be ENEOS (from Japan), as we speak, but nobody on this site (including myself) is willing to pay the price, or go hunt it down... sooo... Mobil 1 it is for me - do or die!

And, I think it's great that ppl are finally warming up to PureONE filters!!! Kudos!

I've been 'pushing' them ever since they've been around! For years, everyone acted like I was nuts, but now - more often than not - someone or another agrees with me on PureONE filters in any particular thread. Weird!

Anyway, I'm sticking to my story! Mobil 1 oil and PureOne filters... sorry!
