Mobil 1

BishopZ71 · May 31, 2004

Well it was time for a oil change in the Silverado. With all the discussion on here about types of oil to use. So I decided to try Mobil 1. I hope this oil is worth it's price. My god this was expensive. Oh well if it makes my baby last longer it's worth it. Is STP a good filter? I think next time I'm gonna use a Amsoil or K&N.

Well I have some money left over for some beer. Well see you guys later. Cheers

I just use a regular Delco PF59 filter on my rig. As for the price of Mobil 1, Costco and BJ's tend to have the case of 6 for the best price around here. Where are you at in OH by the way?

I use only Castrol or Valvoline synthetics and K&N oil filters.

However, today I am going to try a Mobil 1 oil filter (K&N was out of stock.)

I have used mobil one for over 15 years now and have no complaints. I have 170k on a 89 4x4 burb and engine runns like new and does not use any oil and will do 17mpg on highway under 70 mph with A/C. I also put well over 200k on a toyota using it too with same results (except mileage as it would still do 40 or better on highway after 200k)

Is this syntethic mobile1, or regular motor oil?

I've been using Mobil 1 for years, I love it, not to fond of the price though. I can usually find it at Walmart in the 5 quart jug for around $18. Too bad this thing takes 6.

There was a post on a Caddy site that said that Mobil 1 was the only true synthetic. I know that's not true because Red Line, Royal Purple & the high end Amsoil must be also, but I have read an article about Castrol Syntec being one of the Cracked hydrocarbon molecule oils and not made from a synthetic ester. I also remember that in an Amsoil broshure they spoke about downgrading their lower line of oils to the cheaper type of syn. in order to be more competitive with pricing. I dont know about any of the other brands but I'd like to find out. I'll look for that post.
