Nice oil

[jrringha at adobe.com (John Ringham)]

I've heard that oil is too thin for our older engines. Just ask Randy Block.
He used that weight and only got 30k miles out of his engine. Stick with
Mobil 1, but use 15w-50, and you should get the same mileage increase as
5w-30.

I've always used 20w-50 dyne oil in my car.  I never had any problems with
that, but I got some 5w-30 Mobil 1 this last time.  I could feel an increase
in power from the start.  After a few hundred miles, it seemed to get even
stronger. I don't mean able-to-smoke-the-tires-in-second power, Just a bit
more on bottom and on top by the butt dyne.  I wasn't even going to post
anything about it, but I just filled the tank for the first time since the
change. I usually get about 25mpg in my daily work drive.  This time, I was
really thinking that the gas gauge was broken.  Same drive, new oil, I got
30mpg! That's crazy.  I hope the next tank does the same.  I was also adding
about a quart in 2500 miles.  I've had no drop in level with 1000 miles of
driving.  I may start using this Goochi oil all the time.
