Subj: Mobil 1 for Vettes

Several yrs ago I read that the body design change of the Vette had raised 
the engine temp enough to require a factory installed oil cooler or the use 
of synthetic oil to prevent oil overheat/oxidation/solidification...Mobil 1 
proved the least expensive of the two. If you've never seen oil 
solidification it's an amazing site...totally solid...solid enough to stand 
a screwdriver in without it falling over...ever! It was a real problem for 
GM in the early 70s when they raised the operating temp of the engines to 
clean up some emissions.
