Have you noticed any difference since you started using Mobil 1?
Not on the SB, as I put Mobil 1 in it as soon as I brought it home. I did
switch to synthetic on my plain bearing Stark, and noticed a significant
reduction in the headstock temperature.

Yeah, that's what Jim reported on the SB10L he was running at work. As soon
as I get some more time in the shop I plan to clean out the cups and the
saddle reservoir, and switch to synthetic all the way.
