Mobil 1 Advanced Clean game on at WalMart.

Who will actually drag the oil out to a 20K interval?

I'm sure someone is going to give it a shot. I hope they do a few UOAs along the way.

The longest oil change interval using HPL in my Durango was 34,000 miles. Start at this thread and follow the breadcrumb backward to the previous used oil analysis. You can follow the breadcrumbs back to the start of my extended drains with HPL.

Where are all of the $500 jugs of oil???

You mean AmsOil ?

 

[Adambomb7777]

Bought a jug yesterday and a 209 filter. Changed it shortly after getting home

I’ve been curious about this oil for a while so I figured why not

I’m also curious about the new STP maximum performance oil and the new filter AutoZone has for sale. I know the oil is mostly marketing but I’m a sucker for a blue jug. I can grab a jug and filter today for $29. I figured I might change the oil in the wife’s Mazda today lol

I’m all about squeezing a nickel pulling off extended oil changes isn’t my thing.

How do you know that? - hopefully not bcs someone here - that doesn’t know (one way or the other) what this lube is capable of - they only know their own beliefs/bias - and share that quite often.

Interesting, I wonder how it compares to their Mobil 1 ESP 0W line. Sounds like it's pretty nice stuff if you ignore the "Valvoline Restore and Protect is eating our lunch and we need to do something about it" branding.

Nice. There is a $4 Walmart Cash promo on one jug also.

Yep, that was a nice surprise after checking out two weeks ago.

Not even apples to apples … and those that predict this could be a replacement for Mobil 1 Extended Performance are likely correct …
You need to understand the market - BITOG is not that.

Leaks, right? You know you’re soon to hear It’s gonna cause leaks!

I agree with what you said. I’m sure it’s fine oil.

Displayed at eye level and $1 less than Valvoline Restore and Protect.

No Valvoline Restore and Protect at my Walmart (sold out - large empty shelf spot) while Mobil 1 Advanced Clean was totally stocked on the shelf - no one’s buying it?

It’s a marketing game. Trying to push the Mobil product

First there was Valvoline Restore and Protect and now the empire strikes back. Personally I wonder how many of us actually have the problem that these oils claim to solve. My guess is not many.

I would wager a pretty significant fraction of cars on the road have some amount of ring deposits. The way the average person treats their vehicle (cold starts, short trips, high idle time, long OCIs on bulk oil) cannot be conducive to good results.

Or, you can be like @GW. and do everything right and still get stuck rings!

My BiL did 400k on bulk Mobil dino - jobber filters - it’s very engine dependent …
The GM 5.3L was fine - transmission, front end, and especially the Driver’s seat were done LoL …
