Hi Guys,
Anybody use this fully synthetic oil in a high mileage car? Any experience with it?
'Mobil 1 Extended Life 10W-60 is engineered for the specific demands of older vehicles'

It's not sold in the United States. If anything, I think they offer it as an alternative to the expensive Castrol TWS 10w60 that BMW requires for their M cars.
In the USA they sell Mobil 1, 15w-50 and Castrol Edge with Syntec 5w-50.....I guess these are as close to "made for older or Classic vehicles" that I've seen on the shelves of retail stores.
Are you planning to use it in your Saab?
The dealer continues to feed my dad's old '03 V40 T4 (2.0T) with Castrol 10w-60 and that engine is still alive, so I'm guessing this M1 10w-60 wouldn't be any worse. Personally, I think it's way too thick, but what do I know...

5w40 to 10w60 is a huge jump. I would try something more "intermediate" like a 0w50 or 5w50 first.

With Remapping, Front Mont Intercooler and so on Shure the turbo is leaking?
Maby it´s just the seal from the "oil drain line"?
Did the problem just ocur with the 5W-40?
I like the 5W-50 alot
I also think after 340+tkm the Turbo did its job well Alot of turbos dont even last half of that
If you want give the 10/60 a try, as long as its not castrol
Liqui-Moly and Shell have those grades too if you cant find it from Mobil1
btw: forgot tho mention that my turbo is running about 20.30psi (1.4bar) out of the original K03

No, unfortunatelly, this turbo has close to 100,000 km just - the third one in this car. Garret GT17 small turbo is not long lasting one - Mitsu TD04 much better!
I made a test: 5W40 + STP Smoke treatment = mix viscosity is close to 10W60; much quieter engine and turbo - no disadvantage detected...
