Mobil 1 oil weight

[Grant Lenahan]

You beat me to it.
Yes its full synthetic, btu type III, not iV.

I'm going to hammer home once again (forgive me, please, its meant to 
help) that OIL USAGE IS NO MEASURE OF QUALITY NOR OF GOOD LUBRICATION. 
It has to do with tolerances, break-in (in some cases, unfortunate), 
some to do with volatility (whcih would be bad if you had a very hot 
turbo, but not, in and of itself, a problem).

I am very curious about that oil, and have begun to use it in cars that 
it wont cause warranty problems with.
