The correct oil for your vehicle is based off of manufacturer requirements, your driving habits, current mileage and specific vehicle needs. Our technicians will help you select the type and weight that is best for your vehicle. • Mobil 1 High Mileage is not recommended for 2-Cycle or aviation engines, unless specifically approved by the manufacturer.
In 2017, Mobil 1 switched to Red Bull Racing and its sister team, Scuderia Toro Rosso, that lasted only for 2017 season. My Honda 750F with Mobil1 was several bike lengths ahead of friends Honda 750 after changing to Mobil 1. When I sold the bike 21 years later valves still did NOT need adjusting.
The company’s lubricants business resides in the downstream segment where it operates as ExxonMobil Fuels, Lubricants & Specialties Marketing Company. ExxonMobil is a leading global manufacturer and marketer of automotive and industrial lubricants and enjoys a long and strong position in synthetic lubricants, including the Mobil1 brand. With the exception of the Mazda rotary engine Castrol GTX , Mobil 1 will not void new‐car warranties where an American Petroleum Institute certified oil is recommended. Mobil 1 meets or exceeds API and International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee motor oil service requirements of all new‐car manufacturers, both import and domestic. If in doubt, always check your vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer.
Total Base Number is a laboratory test that measures an oil’s ability to neutralize such acids. Although laboratory tests alone cannot be used to establish if engine oil meets an API Service Category, they can be used to determine if it doesn’t. The test results and PQIA assessment relates Castrol GTX ONLY to the sample tested and the tests conducted.

Mobil 1 5W-30 meets or exceeds the requirements of the industry’s toughest standards and outperforms our conventional oils. Mobil 1 technology comes as standard equipment in many different vehicles, including select high-performance vehicles. Mobil 1™ 5W-30 is an advanced full synthetic motor oil designed to keep your engine running like new by providing exceptional wear protection, cleaning power and overall performance. Proper oil maintenance will help extend the life of your vehicle. Even if you do not drive often, the engine oil could get contaminated as a result of accumulated moisture.
Mobil Super Synthetic 0W-20 motor oil provides outstanding engine protection for a wide variety of temperatures and driving conditions. Mobil Super Synthetic 5W-30 motor oil provides outstanding engine protection for a wide variety of temperatures and driving conditions. Viscosity is the oil’s resistance to flow at a given temperature. This indicates how well the oil will flow through the engine at different parts of operation to provide protection and increase fuel economy. The first number is the cold rating (paired with a “W” to indicate “winter”). The lower the number, the easier the oil will flow throughout the engine.
Contaminants are whipped into oil as it runs through your engine. Neglected oil will eventually turn these contaminants into sludge. Contaminants such as unburned moisture and fuels reduce the effectiveness of the oil additive package and cause the oil to get dirty, typically between 3,000 and 5,000 miles. For those who typically drive over 5,000 miles between oil change intervals, synthetic oil is the best oil for your driving needs. The vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations address driving habits and conditions to determine the most responsible drain interval for you to follow. It is strongly recommended that you consult your vehicle owner’s manual.
Eventually every filter reaches some point where it causes enough of a pressure drop to restrict airflow. Fuel economy, performance and emissions begin to deteriorate and get progressively worse until the dirty filter is replaced. So inspection at the same time you change your oil would be a good practice. I’ve had my 1998 Ford F150 with a 4.6L SOHC V-8 since new. Crank and cam journals were void of wear and we went back with standard sized bearings.
