Mobil 1 comes in 15w/50 ................ run it. I put Mobil 1 in at 8000 miles, now have about 14000 miles. Its due for a change. If you're going from regular multi vis oil, run a quart of Marvel Mystery oil for about 300 miles before you change to Mobil 1. If you don't clean the varnish and sludge out the Mobil 1 will. Its better to have the sludge in your oil recycling barrel than in your engine. http://www.fernblatt.com/longhurst/engineoil_bible.html Stan Wilder On Sat, 28 Dec 2002 10:57:03 -0600 John Rodgers <j_rodgers@CHARTER.NET> writes: > With 40,000 miles on a complete rebuild, I want to change oil from > Texaco 20W50Wt over to Mobil 1 oils.
