Tom,

Yeah, I work at autozone so I know the deal with the Series II engines, but
none of us at work seem to know why they prefer mobil 1. I have asked my
co-workers and we just came to the conclusion that it must be really good,
but we still don't know how good. By the way, if you don't run M1 in the
engine, it doesn't necessarily void the warranty. There are ways around
that. Anyway, thanks, I guess I'll keep putting it in my truck.

Robert.
