Mobil 1 Synthetic Motor Oil
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I prefer mobile 1 over other brands because it tastes better and keeps me regular. That, and because I've been using it in my personal european cars and customers vehicles. I've never had oil related failures of turbochargers or other internal components when religiously running this oil. Even the Audi 2.0t FSI cam followers last longer with this oil.\n\nI'm not saying that this oil is the best, because I don't know that it is. However, I do know that it is very good and definitely worth the money.\n\nMy local auto parts store sells the stuff for $9 per quart. However, me being a tight wad, I put on sunglasses and a hat, keep my head down, and go into W**-M**t and buy it for $5 per quart. Heck, now that Amazon has it, I'll never have to do the walk of shame again."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I\'ve been using this oil for over two years now, first time I\'ve seen it on Amazon for less than it\'s at Wally World and it gets shipped to my front door! How good is the oil? Consider this, I do oil analysis on a fairly regular basis through Blackstone labs and I\'ve tested this at 5K and 10K miles (it was changed out at 10K). At both test intervals, it still had remaining life, estimated at 7K at the 10K change out which would make it 17,000 mile oil. I don\'t go past 10K because I\'m old school and remember 3/3000 as the gold standard for oil changes.\n\nA couple of caveats - I changed the filter (Wix) at the 5K mark, it\'s inexpensive insurance to me. I do not buy into the Mobil 1 filter being required and/or superior to a good quality filter from another manufacturer. Yes, I know you\'re supposed to use a Mobil 1 filter to get "full protection" but if you have an oil related failure at say, 12,000 miles, good luck collecting regardless of which filter you used as they will surely claim you were using it in the harshest of conditions and should have followed a severe duty change cycle. Could be wrong but like most guarantees, there are more reasons listed to not pay then there are to pay a claim.\n\nI get back to trusting the extensive oil analysis that Blackstone does. They have no skin in the oil side of the game and so have every reason to be honest and upfront with your particular results. And, in the interest of full disclosure, when I used "regular" Mobil 1 synthetic in the same car (2012 Honda Accord BTW) and sent the analysis in at 7,500 miles, it came back as suggesting extending the interval by 5,000 miles so even the base synthetic is an exceptional oil. Were this not priced so competitively on Amazon right now, I would have stuck with the regular but for essentially the same price, go extended.\n\nI will be using it in my 2003 Toyota 4Runner V6 with 120,000 miles on it next and will probably go the full 15K, with testing, in that vehicle as I have a fourteen year test history for comparison purposes, starting with regular dino oil, switching over to Mobil 1 at around 30,000 miles and now going to the extended. I only use Toyota OEM filters and will change it out halfway through the cycle with testing then and at the end.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Although this is what they call the European Formula, I started using it\nin my 2014 Infiniti Q60S and my older Nissan 350Z, which has around 130K miles on it.\nIn the Z, it keeps the oil pressure higher when the engine is warmed up fully and\nalso keeps the pressure down a little as compared to 10W30 when the engine is cold.\nThe engine seems quieter as well. I don't really know the limits of how long\nthe oil would last since I do not subscribe to the long 7500 or more mile oil change intervals.\nThe Z says to change at 3,600 and the Infiniti says no more then 5K.\nI change both around 3 - 3.5K miles and use Mobil 1 filters. Let's be real,\nno matter what oil you use, it still suspends byproducts of combustion and\nthose translate into both sludge and varnish build up when using long\noil change intervals. The Nissan V6 is very unforgiving with respect to any\nsludge or varnish build up and using this oil as I have in the 350Z\nfor 130K miles , when I removed the valve covers to change the gaskets,\neverything under there was shiny silver without the usual brown varnish\ncolour. I find this oil stays cleaner for me then other brands when I change it.\nAlso, the engines are quieter."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Many recent model cars, 2017 and up, specify 0-20 multiviscosity oil. The manufacturers are using this very thin oil to squeeze out a few tenths more MPG. It's an old trick - the NASCAR boys have been doing it for decades. Thin oil, less work for the oil pump, a few more HP. But they have a new engine for every race. I don't think you want to put a new engine in your Honda. Ever. From an engineer's viewpoint, the extra light viscosity oil is measurably inferior in lubrication quality. Generally Honda doesn't care, they want the few tenths of an MPG instead of better lubrication. They figure most people buy cars based on monthly payments and get rid of the car long before the engine wears out anyway.\nI don't accept or agree with all of that stuff. Empty the trunk. Carpool. Go on a diet and lose 50 pounds. Stop driving the car for unnecessary trips. Whatever. Using crap oil in my engine has a big red flashing NO sign all over it. So I use this instead. Peace, Roger, Out."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This is the only oil I use in my 2004 dodge ram 1500. It wants 5w-30 in the manual so that is what I buy. I live in North Dakota, so it is used in my pickup during very harsh winters. I change it at 5000 miles now that I drive a lot and it doesn\'t look terrible when I drain it. I used to do 3000 when I would only put on 3k a year. In my opinion every 5k or at least once a year is sufficient. Don\'t waste your money on the yearly protection crap. I\'ve run this since 100k and I have 140k now. The "hemi tick" isnt as noticeable with this oil as compared to others I have heard. I just changed it after towing around my boat all summer and then taking the girlfriend on a 2200 mile trip to glacier NP and it looked pretty good, not black, but a used oil brown. I only use Mobil 1 oil in my motorcycle as well, but a v-twin formulation. I also only use wix filters on both. I can only attest to the wix because I have cut open several of mine and I like the construction, much heavier and with metal end caps. Ac delco are similar, fram has cardboard end caps. Mobil 1 and a wix filter it is for me. This is about the same price as the local walmart but saves me having to walk into walmart...\n\nIt\'s been a cold winter this year. No block heater and parked in the driveway at -25F and it still hasn\'t blown up yet in the morning!\n\nI took a photo on my desk today to show how much of this I use. I just used it on my sisters 2005 Buick Lacrosse 3.8L, 7 quarts for my pickup, and some more for my snowblower. It is really great oil.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have an 06 Dodge Ram 3500 that I've been using this in for years. It takes 3 of these for an oil change. I usually get it at the store but they have been out of it lately. I got it on here for the same price. Most people I've talked to say don't use synthetic for a diesel engine because you'll have leaks. Well I've never had an issue with this and even my owners manual says to use synthetic oil. I usually go about 10k miles between oil changes and don't have to top up in-between them. I highly recommend this oil because it has been great in my truck and keeps it running smooth."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Considerably cheaper than the local parts store for the same oil! Arrived undented and sealed perfectly! Mobil1 has been good to me, and I trust it to keep my engines protected. My wife\'s driving is downright abusive to her car, A 2nd Gen Prius that gets driven 90 miles a day at 85MPH year round! I\'m sure that it\'s pushing somewhere close to 4000 RPM when she does that, and that\'s a LOT to ask of that anemic little engine, which she NEVER checks the oil level on! It\'s been running under this type of abuse with Mobil1 synthetic oils (Usually with the "Extended Performance" 15,000 mile guaranteed on 6,000 mile change intervals) for the last several years and 100,000 miles and several cross-country drives with no problems!\nEven thought I practically scream at her to check her oil level regularly with the mileage and leadfoot way she drives, she\'s brought it to me at least 3 times with the low oil warning on, and I am CONVINCED Mobil1 is the reason she still has an engine at all, let alone one with good cams bearings and compression!

I had Blackstone Labs perform a used oil analysis at the end of a 10,000-mile oil change interval. The analysis indicates the oil and filter combination performed well within specs with no abnormal wear markers. The oil additive packages (Total Base Number [TBN]) and viscosity easily reach the recommended 10,000 mile oil change interval with life left to spare. Blackstone Labs even indicated I could use the oil longer (up to 11,500 miles before the next analysis) if I wished.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Outstanding synthetic oil at a very reasonable price. Amazon is cheaper than wally world on Mobile 1 oil. There may be a better motor oil than Mobile 1, but I have not yet found it. The price of Mobile 1 oil is now competitive with regular motor oil. Your engine will last much longer with Mobile 1. Yes I know many of you swear by Amsoil, but Amsoil is much more expensive. My experience with a lifetime of using Mobile 1 motor oil is that your car will die of sun damaged paint and sun damaged interior before the engine wears out if you use Mobile 1 synthetic oil. Now that Mobile 1 and regular (from crude) oil are the same price (give or take a few pennies). Using Mobile 1 synthetic oil is a no brainer.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Mobile 1 Full Synthetic oil has been my "go to" oil for all my cars.
