Suppose someone is hitting the drag strip 2-4 times a month.....OR, they drive like they are on a drag strip when they are getting onto the highway etc. will the Mobile 1 extended life 5w-20 still hold up? Should I think about changing it out sooner....is it even the right oil for what I'm doing. I already cooked one barring and had it replaced under warranty (the whole motor) and I don't want to do that again.

I been using Mobil 1 full synthetic for years in all my vehicles. I use the viscosity level recommended by the manufacturer.
The exception is my 2012 F150 EcoBoost......it's still under warranty and goes to the dealer for everything!

A friend works as a fleet mechanic at a large utility company. He told me they are using Mobil 1 full synthetic out to 15,000 miles, and changing the filter every 5,000 miles. He seems to think it works as long as you change the filter often.

I run Royal Purple in about all my vehicles except for my 77 granada beater only because the engine is wore and when you add synthetic to a wore engine you tend to loose more oil due to it's better lubrication properties.
This is also a really good deal well better than Walmart or any of the local auto parts store, sure wish I lived closer than 100 miles to Summitracing!
37.97 for 5 quarts what a deal
