I only use Mobile 1. I love it. Mobile 1 Race Oil baby. I always wear my Mobil 1 hat when i drive my car. Where can you get Mobile 1 decals? Be nice to get some for my car. Do they have static cling decals? I dont like stickers.

Because our engines are made of aluminum they naturally soak up heat and expand in the summer. This expansion can make a thinner oil seep from the seals...... so in the summer I run Castrol Sytech Blend 20/50. Remember oil is also thinner in hotter temps and runs more freely so a 20/50 is fine in the hot summer months.
In the Winter I run Mobil 1 15/50 because the cooler air keeps the aluminum tight and a thinner oil will not seep.
Also a thinner oil will flow quicker in the colder months so will protect quicker on start up.

I use Mobil 1 15w-50 in my rebuilt 944-spec car motor and valvoline 20w50 in my unrebuilt 117k 944 Turbo S. Would have to many leaks with Mobil 1 in the turbo!
