I work for a trucking company in Southern California. We have been running a fleet test for Mobil for about six years running Mobil 1 5W/40 synthetic oil. The trucks carry 80,000 lbs. on average and run 60,000 miles between oil changes with filter services every 10 to 12,000 miles with a small oil sample going to Mobil for inspection. To date we have had only 2 oil related failures out of a fleet of 600 trucks. My point being, that if it can hold up to the stesses our engines & turbos put it through it can handle anything a little car can dish out be it turbo, high compression or anything else. Anybody saying Mobil 1 will not hold up is lacking real knowledge.
