I find storing metal in Florida's high humidity that conventional oils poured on metal barely protect for a month, miracle stuff like Marvel Mys Oil don't protect metal at all and M1 Syn is like the Energizer Rabbit it keeps on protecting and protecting
You know, I believe you guys. You wouldn't say it if you didn't really think or know it. There must be something different about synthetic oil now than there was when it first came out. Mobil Oil lost a hell of a lot of money on their synthetic oil because that wasn't the case. And it was proved at the time that synthetic oil wouldn't cling to metal like organic oil would. I'm not making this up. They took the oil off the market because of it. Jim
On October 25, 1995, a preliminary settlement agreement was reached in the federal class-action lawsuit filed against Mobil Corporation by Malvern Gross and Paul Jimison. As previously reported in AVweb, the plaintiffs claim that Mobil AV-1 synthetic oil may have caused substantial damage to a large number of big-bore Teledyne-Continental engines, and that all potentially affected engines should be inspected and, if necessary, repaired at Mobil's expense.
Meantime, Mobil is mailing out notices to approximately 50,000 owners of Continental engines, and has started accepting owner claims under the settlement. The terms of the settlement are rather involved and technical, but our short summary and analysis appears below. The full text of the court-approved settlement notice, repair and inspection protocol, and claim form are also available here, as well as the Plaintiff's press release announcing the settlement.. We suggest that all owners of AV-1 engines familiarize themselves with these documents immediately.
