So far I have a no and a yes. Tomorrow I will call Mobil, talk to Matt, if he is still there, and see what they say. I will report what they say.

I have 2 copies of the Mobil 1 Engine Oil Table that shows phosphorus/zinc levels for their synthetic oils. The first, dated 5/27/10, is when most of their oils were rated GF-4 SM. These oils, 0W-20 AFE, 0W-30 AFE, 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-20 EP, and 5W-30 EP are all listed as 800 phos/900 zinc. Their...

My 2003 3.3l Chrysler used a Mopar xxxx oil filter and I always used a larger filter like the Pure PL 14670. I just got a used 2008 3.3l Dodge and it calls for a Mopar 4105409, which is what they used to use on the 4cyl engines. The Pure would be PL 10241. What can I use in place of the PL 10241...

Hard to argue with success. However, if you need to change due to availability, either of the alternatives being discussed should provide similar performance. I'm impressed as I recently gave up on my 2000 3.3L with 167,000 mainly due to incessant oil leaks. And my vehicle was always kept in a...
