  You mean "Mobil" mineral oil. The "Mobil 1" trademark is only used for
Mobil's synthetic products (and whatever other premium stuff they want to
charge lots of money for, like their oil filters).

  Heck, I always use Havoline mineral oil in my Dak, and it comes out golden
brown after 3K.

  I've started using Mobil 1 in my wife's Nissan, and I predict that it will
come out after 5K black as the car. That thing has always been hard on oil.
