Subject: dealer put regular oil in my miata!
   Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1993 16:45:50 -0400




I've been putting Mobil 1 in my 90 miata since i bought it used last
november. The warrantee is up in a few weeks, so i thought i'd bring it
to the dealer and have them try to find what's going to break the day after
the warrantee is set to expire. :^)

Since i have just over 45K, they said they could do a 45K mile service. I
wasn't paying much attention and told them to go ahead. Well of course
they replaced my Mobil 1 with Exxon Superflow! ARRGH. I just changed it
a few weeks ago too!!!


So now i'm wondering what to do. Leave the oil in and then change it back
next oil change? Take it out right now? Or just forget about Mobil 1 all
together. Are there real benifits to using a synthetic if the oil is changed
on a regular basis??
