Depends which engine you are putting it in.
For my Duratechs,a lighter oil is better. A Euro engine, or very high mileage engine, is something differant.
This is great oil, the thing that I have always wondered is what do they put in the oil that makes it a high milage oil. And what is a seal conditioner.
Is the ester/seal conditioner considered bad for a new engine? Or is the level of ester used considered very low and will never cause a problem in a new or HM engine?

Know one really knows the % added to a given oil maybe 10-20%? i haven't heard any issues with it in a new engine.
After using it in the 5.3L GM and as assembly oil for the 325cc Polaris engines (having my hands in it) I consider M1 HM as good as it gets has far as a source for motor oil. The third party testing supports it has a top of the line additive pack.

As much as I hate to say it M1 makes a quality product. Everything they make is among the top performing products in the tier and at Walmart prices it's certainly affordable.
I just puked a bit in my mouth.
It was just last year that I bought my first Mobil 1 motor oil at the age of 62 so I have been slow to move to Mobil 1 motor oil some would say.
Today there is not really any bad motor oil from most any source. I do think M1 HM is about as good as it gets if that is what one is looking for because the specs are there.
