One thing I failed to mention. A good indicator of how dirty the crankcase is on your engine is to remove the valve covers and take a look. Oil coloration on the cylinder heads under the valve covers that look like tea stains is normal at 50,000 miles. The crankcase will have ten times this amount of buildup and the underside of your pistons will be holding a good bit of pure carbon that will processed out by cleaning or the Mobil 1 oil.
