Any of you guys run this stuff in your TBI engine? I switched my 95 to it because apparently my local Wallyworld is having trouble keeping my long-time favorite, Pennzoil Platinum, on the shelves. I probably spent a half-hour standing in the oil aisle reading up on it on BITOG. According to the folks over there, Mobil1 HM is on the thicker side of the the 30-weight spectrum, and since it only carries the older SL API-rating, it has higher ZDDP content.
My 95 has over 245,000 miles on the original motor, has a rear main seal leak that I've neglected for too long now, and no doubt the valve seals have some wear. Normally, I'd lose a quart of oil within 3,000-4,500 miles. I'm now past the 3,000 mile mark with M1HM and I've lost no more than half a pint.
With that said, I still like Pennzoil Platinum. It has done great in my Avalanche and my gf's G35, it's just not the best oil for a leaking flat-tappet motor.
