How did you determine that 15W-50 Mobil 1 red cap conforms to JASO MB?
There's no mention of that on the label, at least not here in Canada.

How do you know this?  Is it on the label?  That was one of the things I was trying to
confirm.

Exactly which shop manual are you referring to and what is the date of publication.  The
Sprint ST/RS manual that I have doesn't say the 'or higher' part.  It is p/n 3850760 Issue
3, and is dated 10/99.  I purchased it early in 2000.
