I too have been using Mobil 1 for years. The '92 Jetta GLi has
168,000 and runs like new. Engine has never been opened. It
gets changed every 5 - 7,000. The Vanagon Waterboxer had problems
unrelated to oil but also was Mobil 1 changed at 5 - 7,000. At 2nd
rebuild time, approx. 65,000 mi. when I took the heads
off, it looked like new. Cylinder bores showed almost no wear. The
Vanagon just got it's TiiCo conversion. Using dino oil 'til about 5k
when thoroughly broken in. Then nothing but Mobil 1!

Kim and I have both changed employers recently, which has reduced our commutes significantly. As a result I have changed my Vanagon, Mercedes 300TE and Subaru to Mobil 1. My habit has been to change oil every 3K miles, and the Subaru was the first to reach 3K on the Mobil 1. I pulled the dipstick, and the oil is absolutely beautiful, clear and gold. In the interest of not wasting money or resources, I decided to let it go awhile longer before changing it. For those of you using Mobil1 or other synthetic oil, how long are you running between oil changes? Please respond directly to me as well as to the list as I don't always make it through all the digests every day. -- Best Regards to all, Jon B Kanas Boulder County Colorado: 194249 sq Hectares surrounded by reality.
