Mobil 1 is comprised of a unique selection of additives, each designed
to
>accomplish certain goals. Unlike most motor oils that are formulated
with
>additive packages, Mobil 1 is formulated by carefully testing and
selecting
>the highest performance additives available. Some, like SuperSyn, are
>proprietary. Others are used in unique concentrations. Here's a
summary
>of the kinds of additives found in Mobil 1:
>
>anti-wear agents: include SuperSyn and more traditional additives
such as
>zinc/phosphorus based components
>detergent/dispersants: designed for optimal engine cleaning; help
reduce
>varnish, carbon, sludge, and harmful deposits
>rust and corrosion inhibitors: hold acids in suspension
>oxidation inhibitors: offer high-temperature protection and cause the
>molecules that create oxidation to be neutralized
>foam inhibitors: particularly beneficial in high-performance
applications,
>such as sustained high engine revs
>friction modifiers: aid in wear protection and provide fuel economy
>benefits
>viscosity index improvers: less required in Mobil 1, among the most
>shear-stable available
>seal-swell agents: enhance compatibility with engine seals in all
engines
>
>Because Mobil 1's high performance components are less likely to break
>down, Mobil 1 is engineered to protect your engine longer.
