Mobil 1 Advanced Clean is here

[tired]

I drive mostly highway actually. My drive from home to work (Niagara Falls) is 80 miles, basically 95% highway. And the other main drive is 50 miles to my girlfriends place, also 95% highway.

If I was driving 40k a year I would do 20 k intervals. I do about 25k a year so I am comfortable with 10k intervals, at least in my Civic.

20k on a Euro oil? Or would you go boutique? That is wild to me. But you have ideal operating conditions.

A question a number may have : “Why would I want to use Mobil 1 Advanced Clean over Mobil 1 ESP 0w30” ? I would be surprised if Advanced Clean provided more engine cleaning than 0W30 ESP already provides (unless you consider the secret lipstick remover borrowed from the cosmetic industry Mobil 1 is adding to new formulations.) All joking aside , we can only gleam glimpses of what may be included in Advsnced Clean , compare starting oxidation between the two oils , etc. until the Russian Auto Club or LS Jr. runs testing comparing the two oils .

If I ever stepped up to 20k intervals the only two oils that I would consider would be AMSOIL Signature Series or HPLs best oil

I don't see myself running extended OCI as I don't my usage not to be "severe" anytime soon. But if i was, those are the exact 2 I would consider

Why would I buy THAT when I can get 5 QTS of Valvoline Restore & Protect in a JUG for $6 a QT. Mobil are you crazy. What a stupid marketing move. Oh wait, they tried to pawn off their $49 a jug oil 7 years ago when top level oils were $23 a jug. What................ same marketing guy running the show AGAIN?

You can single out a great lube that cheap people didn’t want (Mobil 1 Annual Protection) … or you can consider their global position in this space …
People who never failed never played the game …

“Borrowed” ? XOM sells products to that industry …

Who actually buys multiple single quarts at those prices when it is so much cheaper in the jug? In fact I never buy single quarts even though my Corvette has a 7 quart capacity

I can go to my Walmart today and see most brands/grades overpriced in quart bottles … and plenty bottles there …

Interesting. For just a few dollars more you can get at 20k oil.

It says 20K, but would you leave it in your engine for 20K?

Would you leave any oil in for 20K?

Also, Mobil probably means 20K of mostly highway driving. How many people drive mostly highway?

No sane person would keep Walmart oil for 20K miles in their engine.
If somebody already did, let's see their UOA?

I drive strictly 5K miles with Mobil 1 Extended Performance which is rated for 20K miles.

There’s a fine print on Mobil website saying follow severe service interval in your owners manual . Mobil’s triple action base oil can’t hold up to long intervals it will sheared out of grade by the 5k mark under severe conditions.

Yeah everyone always overlooks the fine print. Amsoil also says 25,000 miles*

*or one year.

That is preceisely what I would do.

If I am getting it right, the only thing missing there is the star VII to geniuenly extend the life of that oil.
I wonder if simply getting a grade highher and let it shear down would be a good idea. Not that I would ever do, but just as a mental exercise I wonder

I like 5k often myself - but the member who has done 40 years of 10k has only used Mobil 1 - something to be said for port injection engines …
Most I personally ran Mobil 1 was 14k - also in a Ford Fusion …
I have too many GDI mills these days …

In a highway driven PI engine, EP is good for 15-20K.

In a highway driven PI engine, EP is good for 15-20K.

I would edit that to "good for up to", but would also still prefer boutique oils for regularly extended OCIs that far for the extra head room. For OTS synthetics only? Sure, Mobil 1 Extended Performance is one of the few available designed for that purpose. I, personally, would not go beyond 10k regularly on EP. And, of course, we've considered engines prone to developing oil burning even on short intervals. With an engine prone to developing consumption; or truly severe service, one must cut the interval down and likely still needs to go boutique/higher end oils that are known for "run clean". This is where experiments like @Glenda W. is doing is very valuable to members not in a situation of running extended intervals, but still recognize entry level synthetics just won't cut it.

If not extending the intervals, there are other oils as excellent choices like ESP or Valvoline Restore and Protect. (popular FotM; for good reasons) That said, I don't see any downside to running boutique on shorter intervals. If I like the brand, it's only a modest cost increase, but so much of the focus on this forum is "oil for the job" with a caveat to cost as the significant driving factor. I think that's completely erroneous by itself. Performance, not cost, should be THE driving factor. IMO, cost of oil alone is often overblown in the context of cost of car ownership. Unless there is a performance downside to going boutique, I personally don't mind buying HPL or AMSOIL Signature Series. I'm an oil enthusiast and it's also valuable to me because I have long-term vehicle ownership as the goal. Run clean; even on shorter intervals, is a major factor for modern engines.

We should know more about it soon being the product has been out now for a few weeks. The VOA shows it's not the same as prior EP. Still unclear where it sits in their lineup.

My mistake - I may have misread that certain ingredients from the cosmetics industry Mobil may be using in newer oils may not show up in a used oil analysis.

If you actually sit down and do the math, it makes a lot of sense. Just looking at the cost of fuel, going from a standard $30 jug of OTS oil (Valvoline Restore and Protect, Mobil 1 ESP, et al.) to AMSOIL Signature Series, HPL PCMO, is about a $4/quart increase. Again, just looking at the cost of fuel, that's about (for me) about a 1.7% increase in the annual cost of ownership. Adding in the cost of insurance, it drops it down to about a 1.3% increase in the cost of ownership. And frankly it would be even less, because I could run HPL for a year, and I wouldn't go over 5000 miles on Valvoline Restore and Protect or Mobil 1 ESP.

Triple Action isn't TriSyn right?

I found this thread but not a lot of answers on what that means exactly.

Correct. Tri-Syn was PAO/Ester/AN.
