This article and others like it always makes me wonder. Who's trying to
pull whose leg. Every manufacturer is always trying to one-up the other.
Racers and those with ultra high performance engines have been using Castrol
and Mobil for a long time. Unfortunately, they don't have the same kinds of
needs as everyday drivers. Everyday drivers have also been using Castrol
and Mobil for a long time but their opinions and results don't get
advertised as much as race drivers and their vehicles. If you use it and
your vehicles have run for 300,000 miles with nary a problem then you must
be doing something right!

you
want...it's your engine.
