Response from Mobil about Mobil 1 in rotory motors
I know this debate is ongoing, but i figured I'd ask Mobil to see what they say. I'm glad I did...
It seems that Mobil has done some of their own testing and have found Mobil 1 to be OK. In the past if you asked them, they would just say the Mazda does not recomend synthetic oil. Now they have a new blend of oil (Super-SYN), they say it is OK.
