So what is different about it?
Well, if it's not Delvac 1 it sure is a close approximation. If you look at VOAs of all other grades of Mobil 1, the add packs look remarkably similar: Zinc, phos, moly, boron, calcium, and a touch of magnesium. If you look at Mobil 1 SUV you see a butt-load of magnesium, calcium, zinc, and phos. No moly. No boron. If you look at Delvac 1 you see the same thing.
My conclusion: If Mobil 1 SUV isn't Delvac 1, it's certainly not just a 5w40 version of Mobil 1 SuperSyn either.

Now we can ponder the properties of a Delvac 1/M1 5w-40 blend.
Hockey! Someone start the ball rolling!!!

The similaraties between the add packs on M1 SS is probally why Mobil says it is ok to mix your own viscosity. I would not mix the SUV oil with SS though.

Do you know the person you talk with? (Personally)
Can U honesty trust their comments?
Just from this, it makes me think that Mobil just might have put Delvac 1 in a qt bottle, hopeing to sell and make more profit from a product that they alreay produce.
Instead of spending alot of extra money to create a new product.
I have worked for big corps. All my life and have learned the hard way...
1. They will tell U what U want to hear.
2. They will do about anything to make the numbers on paper look good. (No matter the sacrifice.)
I have used Mobil 1 for Many Many years, and I trust their products. (Good Stuff)!!
I just hope the people U talked with are being honest... But I'm not holding my breath.

What makes the Mobil Truck&Suv different from Delvac, the base stock. Does it have to do with the % of ester.
Audi Junkie, why is it not good to mix M1 SUV or Delvac 1 with SS? Because of their differing properties or formulations? But many people create their "backyard brews" mixing more than one manufacturer of oil with very different properties, I saw someone here mix Redline with Delvac, Redline full of Moly, Delvac having none. And these people seem to have good results doing so.
I actually mixed the following yesterday: 2 qt 10W-30, 1 qt 15W-50, 3 qt SUV, weird mix eh? its what i had laying around. The auto store near me only had 3 qts of suv, so i mixed.... any thoughts as to why this would be bad? no apparent problems as far as i could tell in terms of driveability.... In terms of oil pressure the mix seems similar to 4 10W-30's and 2 15W-50's based on what i experienced with that mix at similar temps....
I know SUV/Delvac1 has no Moly and i believe someone on this board at some point mentioned that there may be a reason behind that, but anyone know for sure? if the mixing of these oils is bad I'd like to know the reasoning behind it....
