Mobil 1 Extended Performance???

[BTLew81]

Have a chance to pickup some 5w20 EP cheap, along with some Mobil 1 10w30. Looking for any input on the EP, but I am thinking of picking it all up. 20 in the winter and the 10w30 in the summer.

Seems like a good deal for a good, proven oil.

Great oil. pending on car, 5w20 would work year round.

Yep...I can't get a ton of the 20, so I'll probably use the 10w30 in the summer. With the temps we have in Chicago, no problem with 10w30 in the summer months.

How cheap is the 5w20 EP ?

Running the 5w20 EP now.

I'm getting it from a friend. But, when the local Walmart does have it, it's about 6.25/quart. Good deal, in my opinion.

In addition, the 10w30 is in good supply now, for $24/5 quarts. I have always liked 10w30 in M1.

Buster..observations?

Nice oil. It's more dense in 5-20 than regular M1. Feels about like PP.

Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-20 has a pretty crazy VI, 171.

What are the implications, exactly?

It's more dense than regular M1. It feels a little smoother in my engine. C'mon,man,feel the oil. Lol.
