Thanks for posting that.  I had the original crankcase of oil changed out
of our LandCruiser for Mobil 1 at 1000 miles and every mechanic I queried
about it said it was a bad call at the time.  I trusted my instincts for
once and did it anyway.  I am faced with the same choice on the new Audi
and was starting to feel niggling doubts about it.  Now I feel
vindicated.....
