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.
