My beater with 186k on it and an unknown maintenance history (owned by a 30-something woman) looks very similar.

Dunno about why it would look like scuffing. I can't imagine a 0w20 would do that to 16,000 mile engine.

HTC Inspire Phone, 8 MP with an LED flash. Came out better than I thought.

[censored] maybe I should start using my phone to take those pics (same phone) because my Canon powershot has difficulty focusing and getting lighting right. Is this the Mazda?

Yes sir, I know I am being surprised a lot by the camera. I actually got it as a "kinda" replacement for my point & shoot Kodak.

HD video is a plus as well.

Seriously, after how much metal was trapped in my filter with a magnet on the end when I ran Mobil 1, I don't ever want the stuff near my car again.
 
Try 10K OCIs with the AFE 0-20. Both of my Duratechs look like new, and with an OC this coming week on the Fusion the oil still looks as though it could go several more Ks.

So are you saying that Mobil-1 wears out motors at ten times the norm or what?
