How many use Mobil1 Truck & Suv, and what type engine?

[Jeff7353]

Just want to know how many of yall are using Mobil 1 Truck & Suv, in what size engine and why did u choose it? Thanks.............

I used to use it in my 2002 Saab 9-3 with a 2 liter high output turbo. The vehicle is now off-lease after three years and I chose not to keep the car.

I felt the Truck & SUV 5w40 was the best oil available (here come the arguments) for that engine. With that oil and a PureOne filter, I had zero oil related problems. Admittedly, I did zero UOAs, believing no news was good news.

I use it in an I-5 Audi and some V6 Audis. I'll use it in a 1.8t next week. I have a post titled "Why I chose T&SUV...again". It has a lot of strong points. Makes me wonder if I will ever use up my GC stash...ok, I will.

4.5 hp, Tecumseh, lawnmower. Starts easily in cool weather, runs quiet, hopefully cleaner exhaust from less evaporation.

I am using a mix of the M1 T&S and M1 5W30 in my 2.4L Honda Element. Running well so far and gas mileage is about the same. I will keep it until the winter to see how it flows/cranks in the cold.

I use it in my Suzuki VL1500Lc motorcycle. It calls for 10w40. I'm not sure the motorcycle oils are that much better for the price. It works well, shifts really good,...an indicator.

 

[Ryan00TJ]

I use it in my brother's Jeep 4.0L, my Jeep 2.5L my 420rwhp LS1 that see's some hard driving and track use. I'm also contemplating using it in my 360ci Marine engine in my boat. I use it b/c it's a very well built oil that works very well in my applications. $20 for 5qts at Wallmart is nice too.

I was using redline 5W30 for awhile till recently i switched over to amsoil 5W30. You want to find an oil that has high TBN numbers, the higher the number the better the oil is and the better it will hold up in extended drain intervals. Soon ill be switching to their 10W30 and changing the oil and filter every six months. I have a 3.4 V6.

I use M1 5W-40 in my 2.8L normally aspirated Audi V6 engine. The choices of 5W-40 oils are rather limited and M1 5W-40 seems to be an excellent match for my engine.

Delvac 1 5W-40, Subaru Outback 2.5

For its reputation and extra detergents. Also on recommendation from Doug Hillary who used it in the same vehicle

Will be switching from Rotella T Syn to T&SUV on my next oil change. 2003 GMC Duramax Diesel.

 

[Big John]

I use it in my 03 Chevy 5.3.. This is my first run of it,been in since May 1 and I will change to to M1 0w04 Nov 1....Seat of the pants meter indicates that this oil has been the best so far,quieter,smoother and no drop in mpg.

 

[Sparkman]

I have it in both the '01 4.0 Cherokee and the '99 2.5 Outback. I am using maintenance doses of ARX as well.

I have over 12k miles on it in the Cherokee, should be changing the oil soon and UOA in a few weeks. I was planning on 10k but I have been extremely super busy, so ~12.5k it will be.

I haven't decided if the '92 VW 1.6 turbo diesel is getting T&SUV or Rotella 5w-40 once the ARX is done.

I love the T&SUV because it's an arguably robust oil in my favorite viscosity that's very reasonably priced. I let my Amsoil PC membership lapse once Walmart started carrying this oil, as I now had a source for full synthetic 5w-40. I am not knocking the AFL, that's a great oil for certain.

I use it in my '03 Saab 9-5 Aero. I also use the 0W-40, and have the 15W-50 in there right now. 0W in the winter, 5W for the fall/spring, and 15W in the summer. We put ~18k-19k/year on the car, so with 5k changes it works out fairly well to a seasonal schedule.

I use it in my 4 season old Husqvarna 15hp riding mower. It has the Kawasaki engine. Usually an air cooled mower will turn an oil black pretty quick. I don't know what temp the oil runs at but this oil looks new and it's been in all season. The mower seems to run quieter as well. At 10 hours on the meter I switched to M1 10w30 and I now have 140 hours and it runs great.

2003 VW Jetta TDI, . It calls for 5w40 oil aka Delvac One. (with a bunch of other specifications) In my opinion, this oil is one of the best for this 1.9L turbo diesel engine. I am currently working on a 25,000 mile OCI. This is after a 5k mile and 10k, 20k, 40k mile oci's due to break in and warranty concerns. The vehicle is a baby at 60k miles and due for a change at 65k.

'05 Subaru WRX 2.0 liter turbocharged, using it since 1000 miles, doesn't burn any, in contrast to the other WRX in the family, that starts burning oil after 6k kms. Very happy with the choice, I wish they had it in Europe. There we have to use Elf and other Euro stuff, at more than twice the price!

 

[Finklejag]

I use it in my mothers 01 VW Beetle 2.0L. This engine is known to burn oil. It has never burned a drop of oil in the last three years while Delvac 1 has been in the engine. I also use it in my fathers 02 PT Cruiser 2.4L.

Was using it as a blend in both cars, 2 qts with the rest being Mobil 10W30 PCMO, but have switched to 100% in the older one and am using PCMO for some cleaning in the newer one, but will also switch to 100% when done. I use it as blend in the truck, 1 gal to 2 gal of Delvac 15W40, and in the mower on the last change. I'll keep using it in the mower as now when I mow the lawn Led Zepplin plays from somewhere, and I have trouble keeping the babes away :^)

 

[Event-Horizon]

I use Mobil 1 T&SUV in my 2003 Lancer Evolution. (2.0L, turbocharged.) I was having some consumption with the 10w-30 Mobil 1 and it has seemed to subside with the 5w-40. I switched about 10k miles ago after reading good reviews and articles about the oil here.

I also switched to the 5w-40 because most EVO owners in the UK suggest/run this weight or heavier. I figured the 10w-30 that was in the service manual was just for fuel economy purposes.

Thanks for the recommendation!
