Actually it remains that if you use a high quality oil, such as Mobil 1, you will minimize wear and save money. IMO all of the "wonder" lubes are extremely high priced mouse milk. A quart of Mobil 1 costs $6 and will last for years. OTOH some wonder oil can cost $10 or more for 3 or 4 ounces. A fool and his money are soon parted.
