Mobile 1 Blend ... Should I use it?

Greetings!

I have typically used Valvo 5-30 MaxLife on my 95 SE. I currently have 99k miles on it and haven't had any engine problems to date.

Lately, I've noticed that Mobile 1 Blend (dino/synth) is the same price as the MaxLife.

Anyone got experience in switching to the M1 product? Any problems with M1?

Any other general flames about my choice of oil are welcomed...Ha!

Merry Christmas, BTW

Mobil's blends don't seem to be all that special at all. Waste of money if you ask me. I think you'd be better off spending the money on one of Mobil's full syns instead.

from www.mobil1.com:
Mobil 1 with SuperSyn™ provides superior protection, cleanliness and anti-wear properties compared to a conventional oil, especially if you:


Tend to drive less than 10 miles per trip.
Tow a trailer or carry heavy loads.
Drive frequently in stop-and-go traffic.
Drive in cold weather and never fully warm up your car.
Drive in very hot weather, using the air conditioner and other accessories.
Encounter conditions such as dust, sand or dirty air.
Want peace-of-mind protection.

In other words, if your driving is mostly on the highway and you change your oil religiously on the manufacturer's schedule every time, you may not need Mobil 1. But if your driving is anything but "normal," Mobil 1 with SuperSyn™ can make a big difference for your vehicle's engine.
I know I don't fall in this catagory, but I use mobil 1 cuz i like wasting $$$.
