Hello all,  I have a question and would like feed back on the use of
Mobile One engine oil.  Should the engine be broken in using a non
detergent for X number of hours then use Mobile One.  Or can the
synthetic oil be used right off the jump?  All comments are appreciated.

Tom,

I usually run the original oil that comes in the engine for the first 3000 miles, then go to Mobil 1.  I average 275000 miles without internal engine repairs before I get tired of the vehicles and either retire them or give them away.  Some new exotic vehicles come with Mobil 1 in the crankcase, including Corvette and Viper, so it should be ok to add immediately.
