December 1982), wherein it states: The success and prosperity of our company
will be assured only if we offer our customers superior products that
What an antiquated philosophy! Look at our gummit. We have a sec of
treasury (and head of the IRS) who didn't pay taxes. 900 billion of
bailout money that nobody knows where it went (but you can rest
assured it went to big donors to bamster) Wall street has created
worthless paper and

So anyone know anything about the Valvoline super blue synthetic
diesel-rated 5W-40? I can buy that any day, all day at any FLAPS, while
the 5W-40 Turbo Diesel Truck Mobil-1 is like trying to find a
four-leaf clover.

Marshall (RIP) always said that the Valvoline synthetics were not
true synthetics and thus not worth the premium over dinosaur juice.
The reason I ask is that there are a lot of hints (certainly no denials from
Mobil) that M1 is no longer the same true (Group IV) synthetic base that it
used to be. If that's the case, why not buy Valvoline (or any other Group III
synthetic) at half the price??

For my part if its true that Mobil has cheaped out (while
raising prices no less) I'll switch to Amsoil or Royal Purple
even with the added expense of either.
But if Amsoil is using Mobil base stock, is it also no better
than Mobile 1?

From observations of some folks, the TDT still seems to behave
the same, as in, not burning off quick, where as the 15W50 burns
off at a much higher rate.
