Actually, Mark, I drive Hondas and we all know that they have developed
the internal combustion engine to a point that absolutely nothing gets by
the rings.
Seriously. The Mobil 1, in my opinion, look dirty faster than regular oil
does. I believe that this is because it doesn't leave all of that garbage
behind in the engine.
Another point on synthetics- I would not break in a rebuilt engine on
synthetic oil. I have heard that it lubricates the rings too well and they
won't seat. I changed My Accord over at 15k miles and my Integra over at
20k miles (it had 19k on it when purchased.)
