I was at walmart last night picking up this big 5 quart thing of motor 1 (was on sale for 12 bucks)
Anyways in the single quart size they had a new blend of mobile 1.
Anyone tried it?
Good? Bad?

TIA

 

I assume you are referring to the "Super Synthetic" formula? No one I am aware of


In the coming couple of weeks, we will have baseline sample analysis in the Oil spreadsheet of the Tri-Synthetic and Super-Synthetic Mobil 1 oils to see if there is any discernable difference. Having looked at the outside packaging on both and all of the marketing claims, both state they are FULL synthetic oils. However, Castrol's court case sort of changed what a FULL synthetic actually means.

At this point, I'm pessimistic that Mobil 1 has now caved and isn't really a full synthetic any longer.....

 

Doh.

So does this mean I have to change to another brand?

 

I did...I dont put up with Marketing BS! I went to Amsoil the next change after I heard about what Mobil1 was doing.

 

There's still hope, although Mobil 1 is nearing the end of my patience/hope......

 

huh? what is mobile 1 doing?

i have tri-synthetic in my car right now...
