Full Synthetic

It stands for full saps

The FS stands for "for suckers" as the new formula isn't as good as the old one but people still think it is. All jokes aside it's a phenomenal oil and I don't no think twice about running it on my Euro car. It had a good list of approvals as well which is all you need to worry about.

Highly doubt considering HTHS.

It would say "Resource Conserving" in the API donut if it were fuel saving.

I've always thought it was the abbreviation for "Full Saps".

 

[OVERKILL]

There's been a ton of debate over it ever since it started showing up. It's either Full SAPS or Full Synthetic, one of the two. Given the presence of the ESP products, Full SAPS may make more sense, but Mobil hasn't answered the question when asked IIRC.

FS = Full Synthetic

I couldn’t see how it’s Full Synthetic, isn’t all Mobil 1 brand full synthetic? Plus it already says that on the label spelled out, why add a little cryptic notation as well? They don’t do that for any of the other Mobil 1 products do they?

Out of the possibilities mentioned only Full SAPS makes any sense. No 40-grade is going to be Fuel Saving either, plus none of the AFE products have a little FS on them.

Thanks a lot everyone! Much appreciated!

I inferred it meant Full Synthetic, but Full Saps seems more plausible. Folks, remember it's marketing who designs the labels. Not engineers..But, I don't work for them, IDK.

I e-mailed the tech line. And asked if "FS" stand for Full Synthetic etc and/or what it meant? According to them "FS" is an internal delineator that differentiates between products. They absolutely never answered the question. Typical corporate response.

It's on their website FS = 'Full Synthetic' dig around you'll find it, available only in two grades 0/40 & 5/50.

Very good oil, however if they drop the price from $25/5qt to $19/5qt, I would be Fully Satisfied!
