Mobil 1 is da bomb.. Its the only oil I use on all of my cars,present and the past. From my 997 Porsche to my modded 660 hp Viper GTS.. That said, the manufactors for Viper, Porsche, and Mitsubishi all reccommend Mobil 1 to. Nuff said..

I don't know, I always heard AMSoil was the best stuff to use... that's what i'll be using on all fluids as they need changing.

I know what you mean.
You should put it back on though. You know, less drag at high speeds.
