I also use Mobil 1 15w-50 in the summer and then I switch to 5w-30 for the winter as my truck sits outside.

Saw that coming.

I'll take a look at the Mobil-1 15w-50, thanks for the heads-up.

I like it a lot so far and it is also for recommended for flat tappet engines and high temp applications. It's too thick for the winter here though so I will change over to something thinner have not decided what yet but probably the Mobile 1 5W-30 extended.
