The consumption will go down after a few changes, the noise means nothing and the list of other fan excuses to keep filling with it. Yall realize that a few changes is 20,000-30,000 miles these days. I could not imagine living with a rough running motor, adding a quart every 3-5K (equals enough oil for a whole oil change or more over 30,000 miles) just to make fans on a forum happy for their justification to use it. Looks silly. Any other brand of oil and the fans4ever clubbers would be like come on over to M1. Its the best ever. Not from what I have seen. It is at the bottom of the list after hearing the difference it made in the one car I tried it in, and the several cars and trucks my brother did after Motor craft oil made it sound so smooth.
I have yet to see actual scientific proof it is better and the extra wear in UOAs along with instant consumption and added engine noise would make it easy for me to choose otherwise, and it has. Let the OP will be happy he is moving on! He obviously does not have that one in a million motors that purrs like a kitty with M1. He will be happy with the pennzoil.
You know, for a guy ripping on others for having opinions on a product, you seem to be expressing a whole heck of a lot of opinion yourself
I have yet to see YOU post up any scientific proof of anything you've claimed in this thread. Yet you keep demanding others to provide scientific proof it is better. Nobody claims it is "better", simply that YOUR claims (extra wear, extra noise, consumption....etc) are not typical, even though you continue to pander them as being so. And one in a million motors? Like come on, hyperbole much? It is that kind of ridiculous statement that just continues to paint your posts in the light that people here have been taking them.
Then calling people "fans4ever" clubbers as if it adds legitimacy to your post is just the icing on the cake. You have an opinion, bravo! So do the rest of us. I think the only person in this thread who has posted ANYTHING with some actual evidence of an oil's performance has been myself. You certainly haven't provided anything of substance other than your opinion and that apparently using Mobil 1 makes your wife mad because it somehow drags the silverware drawer out of the house and deposits it beneath the valve cover.
Your "purpose" here seems to be to post your opinion as fact, back it with some anecdotes then deny you were mud slinging. Pander your opinion again, feign innocence, slag the product some more and then wrap it all up under the guise of "helping the OP". You haven't helped anybody. All you've done is help take a thread that didn't seem to have a whole heck of a lot of purpose in the first place and turn it into this epic of baseless banter, me-too-isms and shoot-from-the-hip junk science, capitalizing on the words of the "all opinion" folks who will latch onto any ridiculous claim as long as it meets the terms of their confirmation bias.
