I use Mobil1 15/50 synthetic in all wbx engines I own. There is nothing watery about 15/50. dylan Don Hanson <dhanson@GORGE.NET> wrote: Mobil One has a bad rap with the Porsche crowd. A few of my buddies collected episodal evidence that it's been involved in more than it's share of blown motors..I know, not particularly scientific. But I personally blew up two motors before I quit using that stuff. One was a brand new Triumph Daytona with less than 2000 miles (luckily, warranted still) and one was a very pricey 32 valve 4 cam Porsche V8...Of six of my acquaintances who blew up their 928s 4 were running .....Mobil one... I use Amsoil when I use synthetic...Mobil one is pretty watery when it gets hot and froths up badly... But, maybe in a low stress motor like a wbx it may be ok...Oh yeah, I blew up a KTM 520, too, almost new, running that stuff. With so many other oils to choose from, I avoid Mobil one...because of my own experience and because of the hear-say evidence that is floating around amongst people I respect who know about motors...
