I remember reading that Mobil 1 used AN's as one of the 3 ingredients in their 'Tri-Synthetic' formula (back in the SL era).
I also remember that it wasn't one of Mobil 1's greatest versions. Did this have anything to do with AN's?....IDK...

I thought the still used AN in their current versions, possibly more in their high mileage versions, except the Euro version.

There is a reason the best oils have a base oil blend.

They do, I think Gokhen said a relatively high percentage of their HM oils are AN...

I don't know how we are defining "greatest" here and it better not be via UOA's, lol.

But yes, the tri-syn formula was PAO/AN/Ester as the base oil blend. This was before they started using Group III.

Mobil still uses all three of those ingredients, in varying quantities in their current oils. They have probably the most extensive slate of base oils of any oil manufacturer at their disposal through XOM Chemical, so they have a lot of flexibility that isn't available, or available economically, to other blenders.

Yet more awesome videos from this channel. Worth a look-at. Views are now going over 1K after a few weeks also so he's picking up traffic.
