I'll second Chuch Armer's comments.  Motor Oil can be like religion.  If
your 
faith hasn't been broken you stick with what you know works.  (No I am not 
proselytizing).  I use the new oils knowing they are more durable
(especially 
the multiweights) than what I put into my first corvair 40 years ago.  But I
do 
use synthethics now in the water pumpers my family uses and will probably
use 
them in the future in the Corvairs.  I still like a 40 weight racing for the

summer, a 30 weight in the late spring and early fall and 10W-30 for winter 
(note: in the spring and fall the cars are driven on the weekends for long 
periods so water condensation isn't a problem)--but thats just me.  Most
people will 
be ok with today's 10W-30 if they aren't racing (legally or not).

Has anybody had good results with Mobil 1 15W-50?
