Nothing will prevent future oil threads from being created. You can create a sticky, pop-up, new user e-mail that states nothing but what oil to use, flyers, postcards, we could send Kibort on a peace keeping mission to every single 928 owners house around the world......
.....and these threads will still be created, forever.
Especially when you consider there are a handful of "old timers" who will say never use any of those three oils

Like I said, I've seen the damage done with my own eyes. Mobil has paid multi-millions in claims damage from their oil failures. If you don't want to believe, that's fine, just don't lie on here and say it never happened.

doc, you sir, are a dick.
I've been using M1 15-50 in my GTS for years.
GB wanted to know what type oil I've been using as he was impressed with the lack of wear in my engine after 240+K miles.

With age comes experience, with experience comes knowledge. You don't usually ask a teenager about particle physics do you? Well - maybe you do.

sure, not an issue day to day for the most part, but this is a warning sign of a crappy oil.
Do i even need to mention 250 race days on the track for over 17 years with no oil related issues??? (running GOOD oil)

OK, if somebody mentions Mobile 1 and SAAB in the same sentence, I have to jump in. I have been driving SAABs since the mid 80s. When the M1 first came out, a reliable source at Gibson Motor Company (in Perrysville IN and legendary SAAB specialists) told me, "Yeah, don't put any of that stuff in, makes the seals leak like hell and the turbos won't last." That of course was might have been around 1987... Sorry for this "slight" high-jacking of the thread.
Back on subject, I put 20W-50 Zrod in my 928, and "I've also never had a problem." Not that that last bit of circumstantial evidence amounts to a hill of beans.

I had to dig this thread up just to post this. I'm sorry.
