High Mileage Oil

I have been using the 10w30 flavor in two vehicles for quite a few years.
I do 7.500 mile changes (doing one later this week); and it could likely go longer and others do that. The highest mileage vehicle I have with it is at 315k and the engine runs great (japanese built lexus, though.
). It has been on it for the last 160~180k miles.

I would say the 10,000 miles is very dependant on how you drive. Longer drives with the oil warmed up each trip, sure. Short trips and a DI engine, no way i'd go more than 4k.

Good stuff. I follow the the car's service schedule.
I've got a couple 5qt jugs I picked up on rebates this past summer. Is it the "best", dunno.. that's probably a subjective thing (don't they all make that claim?...‚) but it's certainly a proven High Mileage lube. As for 10k.. guess that's up to you but for my High Mileage engine I keep the oci to 5k max and it's working for me. Knock on wood..

If your fuel, cooling, and overall integrity of the engine is sound 10K OCI's should be doable. Of course this is considering you are getting the engine up to operating temperature most of the time.

Umm, High Mileage doesn't mean you can drive it a high number of miles between changes. It means it has additives that help reduce oil leaks in cars with high mileage.

It works great on my GDI engine at 5K intervals.

Yep what Atikovi said.

Nope depends on application.

That's when Mobil 1 had only one label. Now count all the different labels and some formulas are stronger than others. Yesterday's Mobil 1 Vanilla is today's Mobil 1 Extended Performance.

I understand that all varieties of Mobil 1 "vanilla" are rated for 10k-mile OCI but only where this interval is indicated by the manufacturer

Yes Mobil 1 High Mileage use to have elevated levels of ZDDP, now it has the regular ILSAC amount.
It was a sleeper performance oil back then, thicker and with more zinc, now it's just thicker- but still a good oil.
I like Mobil 1 10W30 HM as it's rated both SN-Plus and Euro A3/B3
