These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So, watching NASCAR practice this morning and the #11 Denny Hamlin car spun. That's a Joe Gibbs car. On the front fender, both sides, is a Mobil 1 decal. Surely they're not cheating and using Joe Gibbs oil anyway? Enquiring minds would like to know!

Because Mobil 1 pays them money, they run their decals.................but not their oil. A very common occurrence in racing.

+1 ^^^^ Never confuse advertising with reality.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This Im sure is false advertising and illegal.

POST 7Original post

Not at all; you are being paid to advertise the product, not use it, so you have violated no laws. A lot of the Porsche race cars you see with Mobil 1 decals on them do not have their oil in the dry sump tanks; it is pure advertising....... Back when I still raced, the car was covered with decals for advertising and contingency dollars, and very few of the product's were actually in the cars. It is all about $.
