Re: lubromoly vs. mobile1 - the potentially new shop carries lubromoly - any difference?

I have an 04 and have always used Mobile one. a friend of a friend has a newer shop and I am considering taking my Boxster there for a new oil change for the New Year. I have seen on ppbb most users swear by mobile one - is anyone familiar with lubromoly?

It's good oil. Very expensive, but good.
Most, if not all of the synthetic oils on the market will do a good job of lubricating.
What's really important (IMNSHO) is the amount of Zinc and Phosphorus (ZDDP) and the weight (viscosity).
I now use Mobil 1 0W50 Racing Oil because it has the highest level of ZDDP (1750 ppm).
From day 1 my car has been on a strict diet of M1 10W40 (up to 70,000 miles) then M1 15W50 (up to 200,000).
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
