Was curious to know if anyone using Mobil Clean 5000 in their personal vehicles or fleet vehicles is having good results with it?
Ever since it came out, I've not heard much other than the complaints about high sodium levels it seems to have. That aside, what about it's other features in so far as being a good oil? I've been using Valvoline All Climate for the most part, but I've spoken to a few of you via PM's regarding MC 5000 which seems to be a better conventional when you line it up with plain jane Valvoline.
 
I don't see why anyone wouldn't get great results with this oil. I have some ExxonSuperflo(pretty similar)in my stash. Now that the sodium is a know detergent additive it only becomes an issue with vehicles very prone to internal coolant leaks. Even then a severe spike is still readable in used oil analysis . As far as wear protection goes it has to meet the same ILSAC stgandards as all the other oils so that is a gauranteed level of quality. You can get exxon suuperflo much less expensively and IMO it is so similar that the price difference should guide a sane person to the superflo product if that is a formulation you want.
I am not concerend about being loyal to anyone product line so it is liberating to buy on good deals. Formula Shell is at my local Target for 1.79 a qt and if I can't find anymore Troartic or havoline at decent prices anymore that will be my next collection. Plenty of cars have run 200k+miles on anyole oil and filter combo changed regularly. THere's a lesson for all of us to learn from there.
