I've used Mobil 1 from the start.

I looked at running RP but found Mobil 1 to be very competitive in longevity up against RP. Plus it's cheaper.

I wil price both, doesn't make sense to go w/RP if I can get the same benefits and protection from Mobil 1 for less cost. It has the same 12,000mi change interval, right? Well, I guess I'll find out tonight when I get off work.

I think Mobil 1 will hold up chemically speaking till around 12K, but I still change mine every 5-6K. I get my oil changed with M1 for about $45.

I don't drive very much, or very hard, so I think I'd be ok at the 12k intervals. I think I'll just go w/RP being that the price difference, if any, won't be anything to write home about. Should I do a write up on changing the oil/filter on the 6th gen too?

Sure what the heck, who know's, maybe there is someone out there that can not or have not changed the oil on one of these before.

maybe once they see how easy it is they'd stop paying someone to do it.

I pay to have mine done and I know how to do it. I just don't have the time. Or should I say it's just not fun to do anymore.

If I am going to get my hands dirty on my car there better be some expected HP gains from it.. lol

LOL

I don't find it fun to do myself, I'd just rather keep the $40 in my pocket and spend the half hour or so to do the job myself.
