I do 5k intervals in my explorer and 3k in my bike. I know it's not an apples to apples comparison, but that's all I can say about Mobil1.

As for the S, I would recommend Amsoil if you drive a lot. I'd switch over to that because of it's 25k mile change interval, but it'll take me 4-5yrs to put on that many miles.

If you're tracking that much, you must have deep pockets.

What do you mean, "of course?" I have an event in less than two weeks.

I have tracked mine and also autoX between 2 and 4 times a month. I still change my oil every 5,000 miles and use Mobil1.
