I've used Mobil 1 in a bunch of things now and like it alot, especially in small aircooled engines like in a lawnmower. I don't know where nolan is getting the "added sludge" other than this is a high detergent oil so it'll probably move sludge around that was always there. I've also heard lots of people say synthetic oil will increase compression by helping free up stuck rings or reduce sludge and carbon buildup. I don't know if I believe that. I have an older White 11hp lawnmower that has been really hard to start the last couple years, since changing to synthetics its taken like 5 years off of it. Its not like a new machine but its alot better. My new 12hp mower has more power and makes a cleaner cut. My '96 Dodge Dakota that used to leak a quart of conventional oil each 1000 miles, now it leaks closer to 1 quart in 4000 miles. My '83 Mercedes 240D is a powerhouse since switching to Mobil 1. Well, its as much of a power house as a 65hp car can be. In the truck I change at 6000 mile intervals so the cost is exactly the same. The car will get 4500-5000 mile changes, its a diesel after all. Lawnmowers get changed once a season.
