Oil change intervals can last anywhere from 3,000-10,000 miles depending on your driving habits and conditions, your vehicle’s mileage, oil lifetime and the manufacturer recommendations. A certified Take 5 technician will recommend your optimal oil change interval at the time of service. Under both normal and severe service conditions, Mobil 1 is engineered to provide performance reserves in the areas of sludge prevention, piston cleanliness, wear protection and high‐temperature durability. If your car manufacturer recommends a SAE 5W‐30 ILSAC oil, we recommend either Mobil 1™ 5W‐30 or Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0W‐30.
Keep them on the road with Mobil 1™ High Mileage synthetic motor oil. In 1998, Mobil sued Castrol over the discovery that Castrol was processing conventional oil and calling it synthetic. At the time, Mobil 1 was still created using a true synthetic basestock, which is more expensive. Mobil lost the lawsuit, and, as a result, the definition of ‘synthetic oil’ became looser. In response, Mobil downgraded their process to the less expensive process.
It would have gone way beyond 300,000 miles WITHOUT A REBUILD on Mobil 1. Some can also be part of an additive, such as copper or sodium, but these are not often seen. Detergent additives help to keep metal surfaces in an engine clean by controlling formation of deposits (i.e. sludge, varnishes). Such deposits can harm an engine by clogging oil passages that lubricate an engine, increase wear and reduce engine performance. A blend of calcium and magnesium-based detergents are most commonly used.
The result is a hydrocracked, hydroisomerized conventional oil. Lubes N’ Greases magazine has reported shortcomings in the ability to pass the tests that the original Mobil 1 formula was able to. The brand range now includes a variety of engine oils, oil filters, chassis grease, transmission fluids, and gear lubricants. I’ve used Mobile 1 oils exclusively in my performance cars and daily drivers for years. It always comes out as clean as it went in, and never have had an issue with sludge.
The second number indicates how well the oil flows in hotter temperatures. The higher the number, the better the oil flows in warm temperatures. A Take 5 technician will help you identify the correct viscosity based on mobil 1 oil your vehicle’s manufacturer requirements and individual needs. Full synthetic motor oils typically outperform synthetic blend and conventional motor oils and can enhance the protection and performance of your vehicle.
Smokey Unick dyno’d Nascar 355 Chevy, went from 303 to 333 hp on the dyno! My Cadillac Northstar 300 hp still is clean inside, gets 30 mpg highway, has 80,000 miles using Mobil1 exclusively. 1978 VW Scirocco engine looked like new inside at 180,000 miles, good compression, was using one quart of oil every 1,500 miles. Full-synthetic formula lubricates and protects for all driving styles and vehicles, including super- and turbo-charged. Detergent additives also help prevent corrosive wear by neutralizing acids formed as a by-product of combustion and other processes in an engine.
