I'm just amazed that M1-AP hit the market with such a thud. I would have expected lots of discussion and conjure about the oil - is it GTL, or PAO or group 5, or... I think XOM priced themselves right out of the BITOG market because Mobil isn't a boutique oil, and $50 for a 5 quart jugs is...

Along with Mobil's Annual Protection motor oil, Mobil's come out with Extended Performance oil filters. Are the filters truly new and better, or are they repackaged to better match Mobil's new oil?

Originally Posted By: mercuryblues I had a look at that the other day at a local Walmart. Personally, I don't think it's worth paying $50 for a 5-quart jug to go 20,000 miles, whereas you can get the EP 15,000 mile version for about $28 and change. I would also have to say that most any...

Oil: 2 5 quart jugs PUP, 20 quarts of NAPA synthetic, so 30 quarts. Between my 2 cars, 6 quarts a year, so 5 years worth.

I'd be happy if I could consistently get my kids to always ensure that there's adequate oil and coolant in the engine! They've lost 2 cars so far...

Before I retired, I had a 33 mile commute one way. When it was time for an oil change, I'd come home Friday evening, jack up one side of the car, slide an oil pan under there, and remove the oil plug and the oil filter. Jacking the car up tilted the oil pan making the drain plug the absolutely...

I don't think my response was uninformed. Your original two points were that, unlike 99.44% of the snake oils out there, Motor Silk actually has a patent, and that they sell it in 400 pound drums. Neither of these points argue for (or against) how well Motor Silk works. Lots of folks believe...

Originally Posted By: kschachn But it's marginally better due to the marginally better warranty and not much else. If you knew it was "100% PAO" would you buy it? Would it be $25 a jug better then? Nah. Don't care if it's 100% PAO. Don't really care that I get 5,000 more miles at twice the...

Originally Posted By: Quattro Pete They all give out similar answers, so why single out XOM here? We are back to caring about the group thing again, as if it mattered. Most oils are made of various oil bases and add packs in order to achieve a desired level of performance, and that performance...

Originally Posted By: lexus114 I'm sure we can all rest assure its a good oil...just sayin' The only thing we know about the oil is that M1AP is only 5,000 miles better than M1EP at twice the price. If Mobil has a more compelling reason to buy M1AP over M1EP (or Pennzoil Ultra, or...) then it...

Originally Posted By: njohnson Mobil is trying to tell us how good the oil is here: https://mobiloil.com/en/article/why-the-...-tested-results Considering the Mobil 1 EP is capable of 15,000 miles/ 1 year intervals, and it is around $25 for the 5 quart jug at Walmart, the challenge for Mobil...

Originally Posted By: njohnson I think Mobil is offering this oil to those want the "Ultimate" synthetic, the best of the best approach. It will be interesting to see how it sells. They are offering a brand new product, which they say is their highest quality product. I believe they would...

I just don't see who Mobil thinks will buy M1 Annual Protection. It won't sell well to garages that do oil changes for people - the only way it would sell would be for shops to tell their customers that the change will last 20,000 miles and 1 year. They won't do that for liability reasons and...

So, the only GM car I have is a '15 Volt. It has a 1.4 liter, non-turbo, multi-port fuel-injected engine. Since it's neither direct-injected nor turbocharged, I assume that I can use whatever Dexos1 oil I wish (meaning I can use up my stash of NAPA 5W30 Synthetic, and Pennzoil Ultra 5W30). Is...

I think ExxonMobil blew the marketing of this oil. They've essentially said "This oil will last 20,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. What's special about it? Trust us. Oh, and it's nose-bleed expensive." If they want to market it to BITOG, they need to tell us WHY it's special (what...

Originally Posted By: FordCapriDriver I think Mobil have lost their minds, nobody is going to buy that, M1 EP, or even regular M1 can already go 1 year, heck just about any oil can go 1 year under not-extreme conditions. For my 15 Chevy Volt, and the way I drive it (engine is used ~10% of the...

My guess is it's because "Valvoline" sounds much better than "Aloline."
