In Reply to: Anyone use Mobil 1 10W30 synthetic oil? posted by Tom in Boise on Wednesday, December 04, 2002 at 11:58PM :
I've used Mobil 1 for several years in several vehicles. The key to using a synthetic oil is to put it in and keep using it after the engine break-in period.
I started with my 94 Dakota V6 that saw 172,000 and still ran like new when I traded it in a couple of weeks ago.
My wifes 96 Cherokee has had it in it since it was new and has 125K on it and runs like new.
I also only use the highest quality filters I can find (K&N) and run a 5000 oil change interval.
I would be cautious about putting it a higher mileage engine because of the potential for leaks.
