Can, or will anyone here, be willing to comment on my claim? Or am I a complete sucker wanting to believe?

Steve,
Mobil-1 is great stuff. Use the 15W-50 version only if you buy the 5 quart jug at Wal-Mart. (The 5W-40 is even better, IMO, but only available in quart bottles.) If you extend drain intervals, it is not more expensive, it can actually be CHEAPER than using dino and changing every 3kmi. There are a myriad of benefits to using synthetics, I think you made a good choice. I use Mobil-1 in all 6 of my vehicles (3 Mercedes, 1 VW, 1 Ford van, 1 Aprilia motorcycle). If you have an engine with noisy hydraulic lifters, it can make an immediate difference in some cases.
