I've replacing the oil every 3k miles, and I run the Mobil 1 synthetic.

I would run the amsoil, but only 1 place carries it and they don't always have it in stock, so I decided to stick with the more popular Mobil 1 just in case I ever need a rush change (for some reason I don't like switch brands that much).

It shouldn't mess anything up.

If you feel uneasy about it though and want to change back to Mobil1 soon, get some engine flush cleaner stuff like Gunk and flush out the engine before you switch back over to Mobil1. It would be the perfect opportunity to do it.

ps. check your email

They will mix togeather with no problems. It just won't be 'pure' one or the other until the next oil change(or two).

it is due 100% to the fact you are making short trips with it. back in high school, my mustang would get this white stuff under the fill cap like you mentioned - lived two miles from school. after heading back and forth to college - 30 miles each way, this disappeared.
hope this helps.

place Iam thinking about is when you leave the main gate go left on Park. First light under the overpass, turn right about a block up on the right.

If your working please keep ALL H2S releases north of wood ave, I'll be out walking tonight
