I've been using the Mobil 1 15w-50 for many years. 1987 Syncro camper,
185,000 miles. Change every 7,500 miles and I often use Fram filters. I
would not use 10w-30 or 10w-40 in warm climates or for extended high
speed use.

Thanks for the good report on the Mobil One. I'm going to do both the
Trasco
filter and Synthetic oil. I ordered the Trasco system today.  I was
considering using the Red Line 10W40 but it is $3 more per quart. I
wonder
if it is really that much better?
