Mobil 1; 0W-20 different sub-names same oil?

[TBB2]

What should I make of Mobil 1; 0W-20 different sub-named products?

Extended Performance, Advanced Fuel Economy, High Mileage
are all ILSAC GF-6a; API: SP, SN Plus, SN, SM.

Looks like marketing.

They all have different performance objectives, and different formulations. And they are all for sale from ExxonMobil.

I have edited your post for clarity.

I bought a bunch of Mobil 1 Truck and SUV 0W20 on sale and also wondered what’s the difference.

Read the VOAs posted on BITOG to see.

Sorry

GW,

I'm not sure what to make of the chart.
I looks like the fluid condition after use of the Mobil 1 oil qualifiers.

Search function is your friend.

I came to the site for an education not the door to the university.

These are test results from HPL’s lab showing the differences between the Mobil 1 lineup. The vid below will explain what all the results mean plus some Mobil 1 history.

How much do you offer for answer? Unless you think your time is more valuable than everyone else’s?

 

[CleanSump]

Exactly. I seldom ask a question on BITOG because when I do a search it has already been asked and answered. I don't expect someone else to do a search for me.

A search for VOA was not informative.
I'm starting to understand the answer to my query has such a small delta it is in the clouds.
So I will accept there are variations and select the qualifier based on Mobile One's recommendations.

There are numerous discussions, to the smallest detail about each Mobil 1 oil that is on sale. You won’t find comparative discussion between Mobil 1 0W30 AFE and Mobil 1 ESP 0W30 as they are vastly different oils aimed at different customer base (vehicles). Or Mobil 1 ESP 0W20 and Mobil 1 0W20 AFE.
But if you want quick answer, Mobil 1ESP 0W20.
