So, leaving mobile 1 in as the break-in oil sounds like it'll work just fine. I have been going round and round with this issue, but since it's still a type three it should seat the piston rings without issues. Thanks for the info. I understand the zinc part of it but I can't see changing out the oil for something else until at least 500 miles.

RP for me. You can keep Mobil 1. RP in all three vehicles. Dealer says that I can use what ever I want and it won't do anything with the warrenty. With RP you can run it and just change the filter every three months and do a sample at the lab. I understand the zinc. Thanks for the disertation.

ok well here's my dilemma, i purchased lifetime oil change at the dealership and they use mobile 1 synthetic, bottom line is that will be better for the car than regular mobile 1 won't it? but i do understand that RP is like top of the line and maybe in a couple years i'll trade it in for a Z-28 or a new SS cause i'll be makin more money and have quite a bit paid on my current car and when i do get a different car i won't buy the lifetime oil change again

What Mobil 1 did was complain to the National Advertising Division (NAD) of the Council of Better Business Bureaus about false advertising, it was not in a court of law. Every thing else is pretty much factual, the ruling basically said that synthetic oil can be made from natural petroleum and did not need to be from chemical reaction of small molecules as Mobil 1 contended. PS - I have the complete story from Lubricants World but copy write protection prohibits me form putting it here. If someone wants it I can email it to you if you PM me. fyi - Here is a link to download a AMSOIL Catalog

It did go to a court of law, and was settled in April of 1999, it was a huge thing man, look it up.

You are wrong about it being in a court of law. I did look it up and I was around back in 1999 and remember all about it.
I know that story is floating around the internet but its inaccurate to say a court of law. Quote:

ok well thanks for the clear up on the "court of law" issue you are correct most everyone called it a lawsuit. Anyway the post is more focused about the oils not the lawsuit. Thats a MINOR detail, and quite irrelevant

I love Amsoil and will run it in every vehicle I own.
Thanks so much for the history of oil and what is synthetic and what is not and classifications for different types of oils. That really helped me out. I have heard nothing but good things about Royal Purple though! Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
