Ok , its pretty much come down to the end of my little test. I use to run castrol syntec in my accord. Its good stuff similiar in price to mobil1. They do seem to update their formula....as well as advertise which normally means things are going well.
They also advertise in SCC and it shows you a picture of these foriegn particles and stuff getting surrounded by oil. They also claim to be able to outdo all these oils in these tests....on their commercials. So I figured what the hell Ill switch for a little see how it goes....
I used to run mobil1 and it would maybe loose a quart of oil or maybe even more in 3000miles. So far with the castrol syntec. Practically none....I pulled the dipstick out and it was like 1mm under the top line....and Im not sure If I did even max it whenI changed the oil.
So Im glad it performs just as well and oil didnt burn off or dissapear into the void and couldnt tell any difference except that I had new oil and that it felt the usual bit peppier.
I still have more miles to go before 3k , but I was pretty amazed because Ive been neglecting my oil as usual and its right up at top , when normally its in the middle of the dots when I use mobil1 and forget to check it every once in awhile. (maybe once a month or 500miles)
