Superior protection. I also use Mobil 1 (which is synthetic, yes) and
I change my oil and filter every 3,000 miles. I don't use synthetic so
that I can extend my oil change interval, I use it to help protect the
engine better. Yeah, its probably overkill, but its one less thing I
have to worry about on my weekly drag raced Dak. (Hey... that's "weekly",
not "weakly"...) ;-)
