I run it in my Honda, my VW, and my Honda moto-chickle. Very good results. I change the oil in the moto-chickle (20 years old, high mileage) at 3K, the VW at 3K, and the Honda at 5K (owner's manual says 7,500 miles is okay with dino oil). I had several leaks on both aircooled engines but they later sealed themselves up. Honda CR-V has never leaked at all. I was seeking a bit more wear protection, better heat breakdown protection, etc. I think Mobil 1 does fine. It held up in my moto-chickle for over a year (3K miles) through the heat and the cold (I ride year round). Was fine when I drained it. Dino oils typically were more like water on draining if I did not change it every 2K miles. Same with the aircooled VW.
