    I have 27K. Does that affect your opinion?
    Nope, way too many miles on yours for sure. I'm stickin' with normal regular "conventional" motor oil. It's more cost effective and does the same job without the fear of causing more harm than good. Like my Dad used to say-- "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!"

    I guess we should all still be riding horses then!

    By the way...I switched from conventional oil to mobil1 at 70,000miles. 70,000 miles later no leaks and running strong.
    Also burn zero oil between changes!

    heres an interesting thought

    Who is more reliable on oil suggestions? The guy who uses 1-2 or the person who tries a new oil every time they change it? Frankly I do not think you can reliably judge an oil you use for just one cycle of oil.
