I have been a user of Mobil 1 0W20 EP for a number of years. First, in a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid, taken to just under 210,000 miles (without issues). Now, with a 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid. Same 2.5L engine, both vehicles. 45-49 mpg in the Maverick in 70% city driving.
I may be mistaken, but the SDS sheet for Mobil 1 0W20 EP USED to list something like, 1 Decene, homopolymer hydrogenated 60-
Now, the SDS sheet, with a revision date of June 14, 2022, says 1 Decene, Tetramer and Trimer Hydrogenated 20-< 30%. Severely Hydrotreated Heavy Paraffinic 50-
Is it a fair conclusion that this is no longer a predominantly PAO product? I note that the - 54C pour point and the 235C flash point remains unchanged. Rating out to 20,000 miles remains unchanged.
My only reason for concern, is if this product is no longer the “screaming value deal” it once was. (Costly PAO content/ high performance/ for little money). Have the accountants obtained the upper hand over the engineering and oil formulation team? Would you stick with this product, if you were me? If not, what is a better 0W20 option, going forward?
