That really sucks to hear. I have been using mobil 1 for a while now. No point in paying extra for lesser quality. Might as well go with the synth. blend and save a few bucks. I'm not spending a ton more on Red Line.

What about those vehicles where the manufacturer require synthetic oil? ie. Audi or VW turbo 4 cylinders.
They dont mention synth. blends being acceptable, just full synthetic oils or excessive engine gunk will build up shortening the life of the motor.

Any ideas?
