As you may have noticed, it's not just the Mobil One it's the fact that 
there is some mineral deficiency in the oils. Rotella 15-40 seems to be 
the oil of choice by many to help the cams live longer. I took the 
advice and am using it in my 318poly. Can't complain. I doubt that the 
15-40 would be a good choice IF I was driving the car in freezing 
weather. It's helpful in the hot summer weather though.
