Default Mobil 1 synthetic oil question

Hello,

I have used "synthetic", "fully synthetic", and now "synthetic oil - high mileage"

Are they actually the same? I have tried to get the same exact oil but it seems like stores like walmart or costco don't carry the exact brand all the time.


The high mileage markets as 75k miles or more on engine.

Just making it sure what I am using its okay.

Search the forum there is a lot if information on the oil, oil tests and information about the detergent packages. XViper posted a lot of it if I'm not mistaken.

This is what you want:



WalMart has the big 4qt jugs too which are a bargain.

I normally get what you posted. Last time it had only "synthetic oil - high mileage"


Btw, my car only has 16k miles

Mobil 1 formula has been around for too long IMO. There is better stuff out there.

Use Extended Performance, it's superior, as proven on BITOG.

If you're set on Mobil 1, definitely go with the Extended Performance.
