Polyol Esters SUCK! Have you ever seen that stuff burn? It's worse than the normal cokeing you get from waxed oils. With everything considered it's a draw.

Mobil 1 is a great product, as long as you enjoy having to get under the truck and change the oil every 3000 miles. If that floats your boat, go for it. I know Mobil DELVAC is a more durable Mobil product, meaning extended drain intervals, just don't know if they make it in 10W weights or W weights. I have seen it in Walmart, but I think it was 15W-40 or something like that.

2002 QC 4x4 Sport Plus, 4.7L, auto, Patriot Blue, Tire & Handling group,
Heavy Duty Service group, Leer cap w/out windows, Mopar Step bars and roof rack, Rhino liner in bed and on step bars, Pace Edwards Power Tailgate lock
3.55 rear, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, all possible fluids are AMSOIL

Hey Dr. D,

I think they might be talking about Mobile, Alabama.

Well,

I change my mobil 1 about every 5,000, filter too.

Never seems that dirty. If i was going to go 3,000, I'd just get dino oil.

I change my Mobil1 every 3500 and its black. I've recently started using the Mobil filter as well and that seemed to help a little. I guess you get what you pay for. I think one reason for my black oil was the fact that my truck was spark knocking, producing extra unburnt fuel. I just install 3923's with my last oil change and reset my ECU and the knock seems to have disappeared except for a slight ping at 1500rpm under load. My truck has 40k on it.
