I skimmed through the article and came up with the following thoughts: the writer has incorrectly identified Mobil 1 brand as the failure catalyst and makes no correlation of the lack of failures to oil viscosity. Mobil 1 makes a fine product that is suitable for daily drivers and harsh environment vehicles. The conclusion of the article seems to be nothing more than misguided, predetermined notions. The writer's opinion leaves no room for the fact that likely reliability improvement is an extension of the increased oil viscosity. Had a Mobil 1 20w-50 product been available for testing, I would wager that comparable results would be found.
