If it means anything, Mobil is advertising that Porsche uses Mobil 1 in all
the vehicles that it manufactures.  I think that this is what dealers use
also.  I've been using Mobil 1 in my '92 Jetta GLi (96K) and our '88 Vanagon
GL (92K)  for a long time.  I drive them both hard (after warm-up) and have
had no oil related problems.  I think that Mobil 1 is  probably as good as
you can get.
