It is my recollection that the Mobil 1 Aero marketing catastrophe was
mainly due to owner/operators extending their oil change intervals per
Mobil's suggestions. IIRC the poor ability of the full synthetics to
keep the lead products in suspension was not a notable issue if the
3month/50hr change interval was maintained.

Does anyone remember the original marketing claims of Mobil 1 re their
change intervals?

I believe the secret to clean/long lasting internal engine components
is frequent oil changes. The brand seems to mean little according to
my local OH shop.

IO 360 and it is still running without spitting up anything.
