Mobil 1 Extend Performance High Mileage or Annual Protection 0w20?

[dgvu89]

Hello to everyone, I'm looking for the best suitable 0w20 for my Honda Accord 2009 120k miles. The High Mileage does not meet the Dexos1 Gen2 so I'm a bit concerned.

You'll never notice a difference between the two.

I didn't know Dexos was a Honda requirement.

No, it's not. But I guess Dexos Gen 2 help you to find the oils with best anti-wear protection.

M1 oils no matter the flavor are great oils. The 0W-30 AFE is a sleeper oil in the M1 oil line up.

Could you try being nice... Just for say old times sake CT8 Just messing with you... Hope you and your family are doing well... Always good to see you on here. I agree with your assessment that the M-1 0w30 is a sleeper... And your other statement about any of the Mobil lineup is extremely good to.

When synthetic high mileage oils don't meet Dexos specs it generally has nothing to do with anti-wear protection. It's more likely due to not meeting Dexos catalyst, LSPI and fuel economy specs. Generally speaking they have MORE anti-wear additives which throw them out of spec.

Go with the Mobil 1 Extended Performance (M1 EP) 0W-20. It's exceptional in that it's one of the very few fully PAO-and-AN-based oils out there, and it has GM dexos1 Gen 2, which you're asking for. It's very cheap at Walmart. Don't go with the Mobil 1 Extended Performance High Mileage (M1 EP HM) 0W-20. It only has 5 - 10% PAO. http://msds.walmartstores.com/ Mobil 1 Annual Protection (M1 AP) 0W-20 is great, too, and also fully PAO-and-AN-based. It has even more antioxidant than the M1 EP 0W-20 for up to 20,000-mile OCIs. However, it's a lot more expensive, and you'll be fine with the M1 EP 0W-20 for up to 15,000-mile OCIs.

No, Redline provides the best anti-wear protection and it is NOT Dexos Gen 2. DG2 is a merketing exercise.

Then why does it often show higher wear metals in many UOAs?

Ya go with M1 0W20 EP Been scoring them for $10 a 5qt jug @ AZ Dave

 

[Amkeer]

Any of the M1 will work well. Use with confidence.

Why HM on one and not the other? What's your reason for HM? In my opinion, any Mobil-1 AP over any Mobil-1 EP.

 

[dgvu89]

I think HM with Seal conditioner & cleaning agent will be helpful, and the viscosity is also a little higher than EP...

You just need bigger text, like us baby-boomers here.

Then go with Mobil 1 0w20 that is Not High Mileage. They are all D1G2 certified.

I am also pretty sure your 2009 Accord, if it is a 4 banger, it is gonna burn oil. And even more with Mobil 1. But this is just my experience with my Hondas.
