Mobil 1 Racing Technical Development - 0w50

While they do have a 0w50 on the pick list, they do not (yet) have the 0w50 oil in the product data sheets. I can see that it has a lot of ZDDP in it. The FAQs only tell you about the ZDDP levels, and nothing about the actual viscosities, HTHS,...

Perhaps next week.
 
I've got an old Mercury with a 429CJ engine, I've been running Mobil 1 15w-50. It has more ZDDP than the other Mobil 1 but not as much as this racing oil. Do you think the 0W will be too thin for the journals or would it make sense to switch to this??
 
I think it's a better oil than the 15w50. Don't know for sure but it sounds like it is.
 
Someone had pointed this oil out a wile back looks good but man loaded with tons of VII???, shear????

i don't know B the 15w50 is still well built...
 
I don't know, some of XOM's new PAO's have such high VI. May not have much. I really don't know....
 
Could be...

they don't recommend this oil for street use because of the catalytic converters issues with the added zinc(1800 PPM)if that would bother someone and maybe it don't have enough detergent additives??

heck i'd give it a try in the hot running ATVs
 
Pour Point, C, ASTM D 97 -54 (-65 F

) and "provides exceptional high-temperature protection in high RPM engine operation, even at temperatures up to 500°F"

that's more then Grp III
 
I'd bet this oil was a PAO/Ester blend, and will be priced accordingly!

I'd love to know the TBN/Detergent level. I know they say not for street use, but if you don't burn oil, and it has detergents, it could be a neat street oil.

Yes I would run it in my Discovery if it had regular detergent levels.
 
That stuff is almost $17 a quart! No way is any oil worth that price. If it was competitively priced,I`d try it in a heartbeat.

Hmm... MSDS shows -49C. And 17.5 cSt viscosity @ 100C.

Let's hope their product is more consistent than the information they provide in various pieces of literature...

Doesn't the PDS and the MSDS for oils often show differant numbers?
