I know a lot of members here use Mobil 1 synthetic and I ran across this thread on a Probe forum. Just wanted to throw it out here and get some responses from ya'll. Any comments? http://www.probetalk.com/forums/show...did=1700965625

 

It definately dissapoints me about the Tri-Synthietic formulation but there are really no other affordable alternatives. So I guess its Mobil 1 for me too.

 

They mentioned Amsoil & Delvac 1. Anyone know if I can find them at any local store in So Cali?

It looks like its not as good as it used to be, but it still looks like its the best under Amsoil.

 

I used to put Redline oil in the engine but at 16$ a quart I quickly stopped.
I will stick with Mobil 1.

 

i'll probably switch to amsoil. you can buy a case of 12 for $67 from their website http://www.amsoil.com

 

do people who use amsoil really change their oil once a year or 25000 miles?

tj

 

Only if they're fools. ANY oil accumulates particulates (dirt) and impurities over time and miles.

I don't believe any of what they say. I'm sticking with Mobil 1.

 

That test seems to be posted on a amsoil dealer? A bit biased MAYBE?

 

I'm gonna start using these bad boys along with mobil syn 5w30. Thanks jeffNA!

 

i'll stick with mobil 1...its a R not a probe!!!!

 

Mobil 1 TRI-SYNTHETIC forever !

 

I love my Mobile 1 as well. Been in the car since the first oil change.

 

Here's an article at amsoil.com supporting their claim of 25000 mile change interval. Consider the source, but some of what they say is interesting.

BTW, don't knock a car you didn't drive. The 2nd gen Probe GT is very capable car. I know, I used to own one.

 

where can i buy HAMP besides jeena on the board? thanks

 

Yeah, well I'll stop using Mobil 1 when it stops being factory fill for Vipers, Porsches, McLaren Formula 1 cars, etc.

 

See my sig. RandD and IPS should have them.

 

whats up with that mobil honda oil or whatever it is?
the on thats petroleum or something like that.
i know somebody had them for sale

 

Re: Mobil 1 Tri-synthetic no good? (R1525) (ActiveAero)

I love my Mobile 1 as well. Been in the car since the first oil change.

 

also a while ago it was argue by mobil that castrol was selling at the same price or near it synthetic formula and which turn out to only be 75% of it. and well mobil dint win to prove that castrol should sell at less do to the % of there motor oil not being consider thru syntetic . but i guess that mobil 1 starting to do the samething and unfortuanally the consumer is the one at lost .
