I have seen it before.....and couldn't help thinking it was rather bias.

1,000,000 KM is about 620,000 miles....all of which was done on a warm engine in a merc.....nothing to write home about really.

It would have been much more interesting if they had ran 3 cars in parallel with a cheaper and another "premium" oil to see if there was actually much difference.

On a side note, I wonder how much that cost them in fuel :lol:

Looks like a petrol 173 they probably used gas to run it on

Ran my Volvo 245 mostly on Mobil 1 for about 20years. Engine was still good when the lorry wrote it off at some 335,000 miles, the rest of it was knackered well past its use by date.
