[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1455519, member: 19880"] Not all non MC oils are "energy conserving", especially the heavier ones such as Mobil 15W50. I have heard of a number of people using this one (and others). Personally, I wouldn't, although I haven't heard of problems.... While I don't like to spend more than I need to for oil, in the big scheme of things pricier oil is a small incremental expense. Especially when you consider the "per-mile" cost of gas, tires, insurance, license, general maintenance and initial purchase. I also see lots of cases where people try to save on oil cost and then change it every 2,000 miles and filter every time - that's just throwing money away. With a good synthetic, I will significantly extend drain intervals - up to 7,000 miles or even more when on an extended trip. Oil filter every second change. [/QUOTE]
