I honestly don't care what synthetic oil so many of you have hitched your loyalties upon, but like I described before I HAD TWO DIFFERENT VEHICLES that when using Mobil 1 had more engine noise than when using Amsoil XL. Those vehicles where BOTH where in very good shape, well taken care, and had excellent mechanicals. One was a 2004 Honda CRV, the other was a 2001 Ford Ranger. It was not my imagination nor did I read it on BITOG and become hypnotized before I had noticed it. Also, I am not a big fan of Amsoil either....but I stand by my observations and let others decide what they will about my integrity or soundness of mind.
Geez....you'd think I attacked somebody's grandmother or something!
Sorry If I upset you, but BITOG is really the first place I ever heard of this noise thing with M1. What wt. are you using?
BITOG is probably the only place where you can amass enough individuals that will talk about such things. I don't think I've had too many comparative oil discussions before coming here. In fact, I can't recall any pre-BITOG. Maybe about what I use, the reason I used synthetics..etc...but the ambiance of the tonal qualities never came up, as far back as I can recall.
