Mobil 1 was used stock in the engine, not the T/C. The Mobil 1 tested is the cheap stuff you can buy at Autozone.

well i personally know 2 people who use amsoil for their engine, and they had it tested by blackstone labs. Both of them were told that they could drive a little bit longer on the oil than average... so the stuff definately works Although I can't speak for the drivetrain fluids they offer.

I'm assuming transfer case and rear diff. That's what I'm switching to.
Got Motul for the transmission.
