With Mobil 1 in the engine it seldom takes more than a few seconds for 
the oil pressure to peg the needle. With conventional oil and with bad 
"O" rings on the oil filter cap stem, it could take 5+ seconds. You 
can't use conventional oil on an OM60x engine after 100-150kmi and NOT 
have a lot of lifter clatter.

Mobil 1 is FAR superior to group III oils like Rotella and Castrol 
synthetics to quiet lifer clatter.
