Mobil 1 "Advanced Clean" 5w-30

A number of synthetic oils claim to address sludge and generic deposits clean up . Engine varnish and carbon deposits on pistons , rings and elsewhere are much more of a cleaning challenge with Valvoline Restore and Protect and possibly HPL oils leading the way currently in cleaning ability… Would love to see Mobil offer similar !
 
Funny, but every Mobil 1 oil I've used with any amount of PAO in it has kept my engines sparkling clean. So in my mind, it is strictly a marketing issue. Good on Valvoline.

Out of curiosity, does Valvoline Restore and Protect contain any PAO? If not, what is in it that is doing all the cleaning?

I'm currently running Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w20 in my Jeeps and it is still showing, IIRC less than or equal to 30% PAO, which is down from its older formulation, but still substantial, in my estimation.
Mobil 1 did not clean ring lands on problematic engines, so no, not just marketing. Maybe a chance find, or idea that came into a oil chemist thought in the middle of the night that fixes an issue a good chunk of engines have world wide.

If proven.
Proving that certain meat is not actual meat or anything else that you can see and touch is way easier than proving what oils do or don't do inside you engine.

Plus you probably run e few/several other oils before you use another certain oil that claims something. So, how would you know which of those oil did or did not do something?
 
A MSDS was just created May 28th so the product is not released yet.

Keep in mind they also produced a Mobil 1 Turbo oil, which did even better than Mobil 1 Extended Performance on the stringent GM Turbo, test that was never released.


Could it be a Valvoline Restore and Protect competitor? Valvoline Restore and Protect is selling like crazy.
Wonder why they did not release what should have been a good selling product for them?
 
Oh no, I'm not questioning that. It is a fantastic oil. Here's another proof

At 440 miles a day, this is precisely the application that puts the "up to" in "up to 20k miles." This is basically the same "always warm, always running" application that lets hot shotters get a million miles on their engines regardless of what oil they use or what engine they have. One of the first "million mile" Cummins engines in a pickup truck ran dino Delvac on 15k mile OCIs in the early 2000s. Some applications are just cake walk for engine and oil, and this particular one where the engine runs almost all day from a single not-super-cold-start is top of that list.

Don't try running 20k mile ODI in your cold starting commuter getting only 25 miles each way twice a day from a cold start.
 
Will my engine experience more wear if I run Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w20 vs. Mobil 1 Truck and SUV 0W-20 in my truck, while towing about 3000 Lbs. of equipment?
How long are you going to leave it in?

Mobil 1 Truck and SUV is a stronger oil that doesn't last as long. EP is a longer lasting oil that's not as strong. Think marathoner vs middle distance.

What makes Mobil 1 Truck and SUV stronger? I'm not challenging you, genuinely curious as to what it is due to. (higher flash point, add pack, etc.?)

Test results from HPL’s lab.
