Bull - Have a 95 with 51000 on it and have nothing in it but Mobil 1
since 1000. Change it every 5000. The bottom of the engine is just as
dry as the day I pick it up new. No leaks of any kind. Had a 86
LeBaron GTS that I put 145,000 on with Mobil 1, no leaks and it still
had the original turbo on it when I got rid of it at 145,000 and it only
used a 1/2 qt. between changes.
