<VV> Re: Synthetic Blends

I seem to observe (not scientific) that synthetic keeps my engine a little
cooler. Since I have a 140, A/C condenser in its air input, and live in a
hot climate, ANYTHING I can do to avoid knock, I will do in order to drive
with A/C on at all times and timing at stock advance, including pay for
premium fuel. These factors certainly do not impinge on other Corvair owners
in quite this way.
     On my other cars, if the car CAME with synthetic oil, that's what I
use; if it CAME with dino oil, that's what I use.

I use Mobil 1 too.  Last time I bought it I noticed that the new product
on the shelf came in a variety of grades in addition to the viscosity
ratings.  IIRC, there were three different mileage (oil change interval)
ratings.  Fortunately they still had some of the old stuff on the
shelf.  Any idea if any of these new bottles contain the old Mobil 1?
