Do I have the honor to have the 1st 997S with a blown engine
Mobil claims that the following is a myth.
"You should break in your engine with conventional oil, then switch to Mobil 1."
Claimed fact "You can start using Mobil 1 with SuperSyn(TM) in new vehicles at any time, even in brand-new vehicles. In fact, Mobil 1 with SuperSyn(TM) is original equipment (it is installed at the factory) in:
Chevrolet Corvette
All Porsche vehicles
Mercedes-Benz AMG vehicles
Dodge Viper
Ford Mustang Cobra R
All Aston Martin cars
One of the myths that persists about Mobil 1 is that new engines require a break-in period with conventional oil. Current engine manufacturing technology does not require this break-in period. As indicated by the decisions of the engineers who design these high-performance cars, Mobil 1 with SuperSyn(TM) can be used in an engine from the day you drive the car off the showroom floor."
I had discussed this with my gear-head buddies over 20 years ago. We concluded then, and I still believe now, that the cars back then needed the break-in oil (500 - 2000 miles), but we should switch to Mobil 1 after the break-in. Manufacturing technologies have changed alot in the last 20 years. So, stop thinking in the past, because in 2005, "There Is No Substitute" (And that should include the engine).
