this new mobile1 extended life oil....
just courious if anyone has seen this ---- yet, and what your take is...
http://www.mobil1.com/USA-English/Mo...rformance.aspx i personally think its the most retarded thing anyone has come out with. I use mobile 1 in every oil change i have ever done on my civic and gotta tell you i love mobile 1. but this 15,000 mile oil...come on. plus, what filter is designed for 15000 miles of useage? http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/...c;f=1;t=009296 there is lots of good info on that site about it. i dont think they agree with it and what its capable of. www.bobistheoilguy.com has alot of oil/fuel related tests and all kinds of good info. (the link above is his forum) |
Re: this new mobile1 extended life oil....
why would you ever use that oil. i normally change my oil in just under 3000 miles
|
Re: this new mobile1 extended life oil....
the new honda filters are only rated for 7000km... not even half of 15000 miles.
|
Re: this new mobile1 extended life oil....
i still cant understand how this ---- works.
|
Re: this new mobile1 extended life oil....
i dunno if u know this but my d15b7 has a sticker on the air box which states oil changes should be done every 12000km or 8000 miles. Thats just regular 5w30 oil. So that oil can't be all lies.

brand new cars now state 5K miles between oil changes, or there is a sensor, according to the mobile one website. :-\ |
Re: this new mobile1 extended life oil....
valvoline 10-30 will do the job as good as any bull ---- that costs 10x more...gauranteed....

do you mean you didnt change your oil for 30K miles? did you just keep putting it in? i would trust anything to mobile1, and have some pictures at home i will post about why it think that. ;) |

Re: this new mobile1 extended life oil....
I think 90% of what it says on the container is marketing. Why would it matter if you had 10,000 or 100,000 miles on your car to use a different oil? It would seem logical that a good oil would cover you in both situations, and there isn't really anything you can put in oil to make it better for a 10,000 mile motor opposed to a 100,000 mile motor. That's just how I feel, though.
Castrol and NGK for me. ;) |

Re: this new mobile1 extended life oil....
I wonder how much more it cost though? so basically change the oil filter and leave the oil

Re: this new mobile1 extended life oil....
No wait what? no i said i used "regular oil" for 30k miles but changed it ever 2500to 3k miles.

Re: this new mobile1 extended life oil....
when i first got my car, it was pretty much as nasty as this...
like jeffs AM a6 he just built. http://www.travisarket.com/abaz/a6-2.jpg after lots of mobile one and that engine restore ----... i would have to say im satasafied with mobile1 |
Re: this new mobile1 extended life oil....
well i think most people change there oil prematurely anyways, i know of people that run mobil one up to 8k miles, i always change mine at 3k but most oil is rated to last longer than 3k, Even though its good for 15k miles i dont think i would ever run my oil past 5k.
To those that say why use synthetic over regular oil, there is a noticeable diffrence with synthetics. |
Re: this new mobile1 extended life oil....
mobil 1 is one of the only 2 or 3 oil brand that is real synthetic oil..opposed to Castrol...
|
Re: this new mobile1 extended life oil....
i work at Mobil1 Lube Express we have that. i wouldnt use it and change it every 15k also if your car is under warrenty you cant use it also if you car has a change oil light you cant use it. it says it right on the bottle
