That valve cover leak did not increase. If you change to Mobil 1 be prepared to chase down and resolve oil leaks that might spring up. The engine seemed happier with the Mobil 1 over the dino oil. Just an impression, nothing to say it really helped anything other than a steadier oil pressure when hot.
1992 and newer the factory fill is Mobil 1 so I'm sticking with it in my 92.
