I switched to mobil 1, but I see no advantage. I am switching back to Quaker State.

Mobil 1 is Mobil 1. Just look for the synthetic oil and the 5w-30 weight has red lettering on the label.

like he said Mobile 1 is M1, by the way 5/30 is the only thing you should use.

And I use the M1 oil filter too

I used Mobil1 in all my integras and always burned a quart between oil changes. I am currently running amsoil since the M1 switch to fauz synthetic. I also run 5W30

I started with Castrol Syntec 5/50 and later switched to Mobil 1 15/40.
I'm back to Castrol becuase it seems to consume about 1/2 liter less per oil change.
Both are excellent oils and my driving style is constant with both.
