Hi All,
I'm just a tad over 70k miles. Saw a good deal on Mobil1 5W 30 but it's the high mileage variety. I'm assuming I qualify for that?
Has anyone had any adverse effects with this mix?

To the best of my knowledge, the only thing different between high mileage oils and regular mileage oils is that the HM versions just have a higher level of anti-wear additives and seal conditioning additives. Otherwise shouldn’t make all that much difference so I wouldn’t see why there would be adverse affects.

Mixture of opinion and various accumulated tidbits of info over a number of years. Take it with a grain of sand, your mileage may vary.

Thanks for the hit and duly noted!
