Being devil's advocate, isn't Mobil 1 as much of a marketing tie-in as it is a good oil? Does Porsche not get ANY cash from Mobil for recommending their oil? What makes Mobil 1 so much better?
I don't think Mobil 1 necessarily IS any bettter. It might even be worse. But you'll never have an objective answer one way or the other, just marketing hype from the oil company's advertsing departments. My point is that Porsche recommends Mobil 1 every 20000 miles. And since the cost difference is negligible it's simply not worth wasting any mental energy on figuring out which synthetic is better. Just use Mobil 1 and know that's taken care of.
