Thats also an ancient ad. I'd guess it's not the case anymore.
Yeah it is old. Maybe when Amsoil starts making racing oils more in nascar will use it.
M1 GM racing
Quote:
Mobil 1 products were GM’s first-choice when the manufacturer began developing the racing Corvette in 1996 under the stewardship of Doug Fehan. Fehan, a former American racer turned program manager, has established himself as one of the most respected team principals in sports car racing. World Sports Car and Trans-Am titles were the forerunners to his current unrivalled winning streak with Corvette Racing. During the subsequent decade of development, the team has continued to use Mobil 1. Extensive engine testing and post-race analysis reveal minimal component wear, improved engine reliability and outright performance. “Ten years ago Mobil 1 was the best. To this day it continues to offer the best performance for our engines and gearboxes,” adds Fehan.

Nope. never saw that.

Does anyone remember when a car using Mobil 1 last won a NASCAR championship? The last time Rousch won they were using Pennzoil, then there is that Hendrick bunch and their Quaker State. Oh, almost forgot old Smoke won a championship using the JGR oils. Maybe it's time the other 1/2 switched oils.
Cannot say I do remember.

Good point.

I did some research and to the best of my knowledge the last NASCAR champion who had Mobil 1 shown on the car was Rusty Wallace in 1989. There were various champions after that who did not appear to have any motor oil decals on their cars, but that's not to say M1 wasn't in them.

That's an old ad but interesting and Mobil does make good racing oil but today there are many oil providers as Johnny said.
I still don't like their street oil in my Si. Cleans good....but..
Just a little more HP at the end of a race even if it's racing oil that's what the pros are going to use.
When I raced that was one of things we looked at (oil). No, I was not a pro (far from it) and that was wayyyy back. Cracked up my back and it was over.
