Amen and touche.  For reasons unknown to me, my 300TD stopped leaking
or burning oil after it reached 270 K miles.  There is absolutely no
reason for me to change its regimen to $Mobil$ $1$.

Marshall is right about one thing, however.  It's only expensive if
people use it a certain way - by purchasing it!!  Staring at those
cute little four-packs in Advance Auto Parts is both recreational and
free!

Very polite response. How many of us live in areas with those extremes? If 
so, then it makes sense. Just as it makes sense if you live on the edge of the 
Great Lakes and you park your car outside the garage, and the wind blows right 
through the radiator, and it's a 100 year cold, and the electricity is out, 
and the emergency generator won't run the block heater, you might have to look 
around for alcohol based antifreeze like they used in the "old days". If you 
drive a 20 year old MB, with old seals that will leak more with M1, and it only 
has 50K left in it before the body rusts off, save the money. M1 isn't for 
every car. Dino oil has been working very well for the last hundred years. 
Having 
said all that and raising some BP's, I use M1 in my new MB because that's 
what they recommend. I use dino in my older vehicles because.. 
because.. that's what the manufacturer recommends.

I might consider using M1 if I lived in a harsher climate (Phoenix or
WInnipeg, e.g.) but it doesn't seem cost effective in my situation.
