- Gee, what about the air cooled motorcycle folks at Bonneville? You reckon just any old dino oil will do? I wish I knew, we will be running Mobile 1 in a 6 cylinder air cooled turbocharged motor. If

- Howdy, more leaks for sure, seems like sealing surfaces must be really clean, flat etc. for the synthetic to stay where you want it. Lately, I've been running mobil 1 at15% with conventional in my tr
