I just talked to Mobil Oil and they confirmed that production has been compromised by Katrina and Rita. They also told me that the recent shipments of synthetics DO NOT HAVE the API certifictaion because the additives needed to meet the API are in short supply.

They said that eventually, Mobil 1 will have the API certifictaion again (but no timeframe).

So, I can't wait for them to get there distribution up and running full speed.

Can anyone recommend an API certified fully synthetic oil that's affordable and easy to find (non-Amsoil). Sorry I tried to search but seem to get way too many hits.
