05pearl Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Is mobil 1 dangerous for my engine? Why yes..., yes it is. We must give credit to the OP. This trap was so clever that it wasn't even identified until post #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnguyenbb6 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Why are you guys so mean? Can someone please answer my original question seriously? 1. Because this topic is beat to death. Its call the search button.This place will quickly become NASIOC if people don't start using the search button and reading/researching before asking. 2. Mobil 1 or any synthetic oil is fine, even in extended changing increments. Oil filters will still need to be changed in frequent increments as filters tend to not filter as well after the normal change interval(~3-5k miles).

bebopper Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 All right, someone has to reply with some semblance of a response to the original question. I have 75K+ miles on my '05 LGT. I have used Mobil 1 5W30 for more than 50K miles now, and my car uses no oil between changes. There I said it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver legacy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I've heard from someone that mobil 1 is bad on Subaru engines. I've heard this from some friend whose friend had a blown engine on his subaru after changing to mobil 1. The guy at jiffy lube (where I always get my engine oil changes done) told me that this wasn't true. I guess that he must know more about oil than I do because he's doing oil changes for a living. I don't know who to believe. What should be the best oil brand and viscosity rate for my engine? I love my car and I don't want to blow the engine with bad oil. This is my daily driver and I don't want to ruin it this way. By the way none of this is true I just made it up. This is a trap thread I've just created it to see who would answer without reading the whole thing. Now let's sit back and laugh at everyone who will attempt to flame me without knowing that the joke is on them. I use Mobil 1 in my 2.5i with no problems. I can't say the same about Jiffy Lube. At the last oil change, they stripped my drain plug and didn't tell me. I've got 4+ quarts of oil in my driveway. Mobil 1 - Yes. Jiffy Lube - Never again.
