No problem at all, I have downloaded and uploaded the file to another host.  It contain the entire article, pictures.


Motor Oil test


Its a test of 18 different brands of motor oil.  The most surprising part is how poorly the Mobil 1 performed.  It shown a lot of wear in the test compare to other brands of motor oil.


The idea is to demonstrate the long term wear in short period of time.  They did mention that the engine bearing have much larger surface area then their test so the wear characteristic will not be anywhere as severe.

Review of Mobil 1:

The results truly speak for themselves in the case of Mobil 1.  I have to say that we were truly astounded by them as well.  It was out-performed by oils half the price.  It took only 2lb to break through the oil film on the race, with the test leaving an 8mm scar on the test bearing and slight scorch marks from the heat caused by metal on metal friction.  After seeing so much advertising over the years for this lubricant, we were extremely surprised by the results and are sure you will be, too.
