[Shotimes] Quick informal survey of Mobil 1 users

[Paul L Fisher]

I will answer but I am using Amsoil Series 2000 0W-30.

I have had the car since 73,000 miles. It consumes 1 quart every 4,000
miles.

No visible drips under car.

Have had front and rear seal replaced as well as oil pressure and level
sensor. Valve cover gaskets and spark plug well gaskets.

Change oil average of once every year.
