Mobile Oils

csheatz · September 26, 2008

Anyone use mobile 1 truck and SUV, over the standard mobile 1 oil? I know a lot of us use mobile 1 oils but I am wondering if I should make the switch to this truck and suv oil?

Whats everyone think?

I changed out my factory oil at 1000 miles and refilled with the M1 T@SUV 5W-30. It has a slightly different additive package than standard M1 SuperSyn. Mainly more antiwear additives and a higher detergency package. Not much but a little.

Bobistheoilguy.com has virgin oil tests on oils.

BTW $23 per 5qt jug at Wallmarts around here.

That's a good question. From your links, my guess is the T&SUV oil is specifically designed for day-to-day Work Trucks, but I'm sure it would also help lubricate & protect our daily drivers. I couldn't find any tests to compare the 2.

Yeah, I wonder this too when I am buying my M1 oil.

Part of me thinks it is just marketing hype, but I still use it.

I read on another forum where Mobil suposedly uses Royal Purple in their own engines at their refineries. However, given the diehard following of those who have actually pulled engines apart after useing M1 I stick with it.

I've been using M1 for years in all my vehicles. I also use their gear oil and trans fluid. I swear by it and would recommend it. I've never had a failure related to in-adequate lubrication or thermal or any other break down of the lubricant. I'm not an expert on lubricants, but I have experienced really good performance from Mobile fluids.
