I just converted my car over to Mobil 1 10w30 today, running my trusty FL-1a filter and a pair of magnetic drain plugs... The motor's got maybe 10k on it, not much at all....
I have to say, I'm entirely impressed driving it with the synthetic for the first time. I've never noticed any power gains from an oil change...but after running the Mobil 1, I swear it pulls *that* much harder. It surprised me because I was expecting basically zero gains...I'm assuming the reduced friction amounted to the seat of my pants increase.
Never switching back! And for $20 for a 5 qt. jug at Walmart...hey, it's not that bad!
