I used it for 150K miles but heard some some chatter about Mobil 1 changing additives.

I am still using it.  No ill effects.  The bottle I have (and recently purchased) still does not say Energy Conserving on the back of the bottle.

I've used it from the beginning, 52000 miles ago, including the latest gray top jug, put it in my interstate when I got it last year also.  Much quieter than what the po had in it.  IMHO, it's still the best.  Hoser  :cooldude:

Same here, grey cap, no energy conserving label.  Motor and tranny running quietly and smoothly.

Pretty hard to argue with 150k but many use Shell Rotella Syn from Walmart.

I use Rotella T 5w40 in wife's Magna and my Shadow VLX.  I had it in the Valk, too,  and Amsoil but, like you say, it's hard to argue with good service.

I know it's off topic but I don't buy anything from Walmart that I can get somewhere else ;)

I use it in everything I own.

Bike - 242,000 + change
Trike - 208,000 + changes
3 Lawn mowers - oldest one is 12 years old, youngest is 5 years old
2 Garden tractors - 9 seasons total on both machines
04 Infiniti - 30,000 miles
09 Dodge Ram  -  Just changed this one today, 1st oil change

Yes, I buy the 5 qt jugs by the case.
along with about 12 quart bottles.

Shoot, RJ,  Mobil ought to kick in a case, every once in a while, or, at least, put your picture on the bottle.  :)

That would have to be a pipe dream.   LOL   :evil:
