It was not to make it cheaper, it is a EPA thing too much zinc &
phosphor damages the cat converter. Read the link in the thread that. I posted on the Mobil one sites withe the blends[

QUOTE=james schaechter;269482]I used to run Moblil 1 in everything and was evein running the 0 w 20. I had a problem a couple of times with rocker balls galling so I switched to the gibbs stuff and I have not had a problem with no other changes.

That was a few years ago. I hear that the Mobil one was still very good for street engines, but they kept making it cheaper and I am certain the zddp reduction is part of it.

Anyway, I looked at my total spend on oil each year and decided it was better to stick with something that worked for me even if it is more $$$. That was a few years ago. I am pretty happy with the decision.

Doesn't mean it won't work for you, in my case, it was a problem with stock rockers and the oil pump set up I run.[/QUOTE]
