Darn! And I just dumped 9 quarts of Mobil1 in two of my cars! Nowyatellme!!
CB-(
Yes, I autocross, and yes, I use Mobil1 in my '99 Saturn, '92 re-engined Chebby
Full Sized Raised Roof Van / Tow Vehicle (M1 since the Re-engine), and the
Honda (below). I switched away from Castrol GTX & Penzoil. Never tried
Amsoil.
