Try 5 qts of Amsoil or Royal Purple for a few thosand miles and
see if you get any crap coming out. If it's an engine that has always
had Mobil 1 then you won't get anything since it cleans well enough
and leaves far less residue, but if you have an engine that has used
a lesser oil, Castrol Syntec for instance; Amsoil and RP will
actually remove residue to the point you may have to replace a
clogged filter in a couple of weeks. Mobil 1 will not clean like
that. Been there.

 And if you happen to switch to an extremely high detergent oil in an old
motor, expect the worst.... There are crucial areas where carbon deposits
can become almost friendly. Removing SOME of these carbon deposits can leave
us with mosquito control devices instead of motors.

In the long run, nothing beats regular servicing using good quality motor
oil and filters. At the very least, performing a PROPER oil change on a
regular basis will offer us the opportunity to notice any other problems in
their incipient stages. A good lube shop (or a properly performed driveway
oil change) will indicated those things that need addressing very soon and
others that are impending. This allows us to prepare for the financial hit
or avert catstrophic failure.

The choice is yours.... I have what has worked for me for many years (too
many years) in both street cars and not so street cars. Copious amounts of
fresh, correct oil has been the hands down winner - for nearly 40 years.....

I didn't say it wouldn't keep it from getting messy. What I said
was that if you have a messy engine after years of running crap, like
Syntec; that it will not clean out the existing mess nearly as well
as some other premium synthetics. I used it for ayear or so after a
number of years of Syntec and did not see the radical cleaning until
I used Royal Purple.

 thats some good info - thx!

when you say "correct" oil, lemme ask this: my owner's manual specifies
5W-20. but i use syn 5W-30. any big deal? my 96 gt was a mod motor and
specified 10W-40 in warmer climes.
