oil and filter

[Gary Anderson]

Jay,
my experiecmce so far with Mobil 1 has been good.
Current 200 was converted @ 120k with a blend (dino/syn) for a couple of
changes.
Then went to straight M1, have 145k now, and now problems with seals, etc.
Probably have less oil consumption between changes than before, almost not
enough to tell a difference really.
Do not know for sure what oil the po used, but an assuming was not
synthetic.
That's my experience anyway, others may have different experiences.
Am using 10w30 for now, but it doesn't get that hot or cold here in the Pac
NW.
HTH,
Gary Anderson in Sammamish WA

It has 150,000 now. See any problems making the change. Is their a cold
synthetic oil?
