Re: Mobil-1 changes formula?

I'm not sure how old your existing Mobil 1 inventory is, but Mobil 1's
website provides a press release dated April 1, 1999, that talks about their
new Tri-Synthetic Formula.  You can check it out at the following link:

If you wander around Mobil 1's website, you will also find spec sheets for
the different formulations of Mobil 1.  Enjoy.  HTH.
