Mobil 1 Prevents Engine Wear?????

Hey everyone, lately I have been seeing this commercial on tv concerning mobil 1. They are saying that engines that use mobil 1, I think the synthetic type, after 200k show virtually no wear after extensive testing. Now, I use mobil 1 5w-30 full synthetic and I was just curious to know if that was true.

that holds generally true for all synthetic oils. of course it doesn't help nearly as much as simply taking good care of your car.

Hi ,
I just had my first oil change and used regular (dino pee !).
Thanks to this forum

I have heard that it is realy "slippery" and does protect very well , I was going to use it for my first but , I`ll use it next or around 5K (only 2.1K on my car)
O-BTW-- Mobil 1 now has 0W-20 , and it states on the bottle that it is for Ford and Honda cars that require 5W-20 , so now there is a Mobil 1 for Civic`s !!
