Mobil 1 vs. Mobil 1 for Trucks & SUV's

[Hazmat]

What is the difference between standard Mobil 1 and the Mobil 1 for SUV's and Trucks?
I understand that the additives are probably different, but they are both 5w30. The SUV/Truck one says it is for extreme service though.

So I am thinking that since I do 10K OCI that it would be considered extreme service and that I should use the SUV oil...even though it will be going in a 4 cylinder passenger vehicle.

Any thoughts on this?

The only difference that I can see from the data sheets is that the SUV & Truck version has a lower [colder] pour point. Otherwise all of the other specs are the same.

From what I've seen of other brand's SUV versions, they typically have thicker cSt values along with higher [warmer] pour points than the non-SUV/4x4 version.

The lower pour point may indicate more AN (Grp V) to dispurse the heavier add pack.

Mobil 1 T&S used to have the A5/B5 rating and regular M1 did not.

TBN is better and probably better base stock too as said above

.. for the same price... It would be better to get the Truck & SUV right?

If M1 T&S has a higher TBAN than regular M1, what is the difference between the TBAN's for M1 T&S and Mobil 1 Extended Performance?

 

[Nederlander75]

According to the above the difference is Nil on the TBN. Price being = the Mobil 1 Truck and SUV is a better buy IMO.

I spoke to Mobil 1 tech line about the difference between Mobil 1 5w30 and Mobil 1 Truck and SUV 5w30. They said it was the same base oil but that the Mobil 1 Truck and SUV had "more" moly, "more" boron, and "somewhat more" antioxidant. The 40C, 100C, and HTHS are identical. A semi relative uses 1 quart of Mobil 1 15W-50, 1 quart of Mobil 1 10W-40 HM, and 3 quarts of Mobil 1 Truck and SUV 5w30 in his pickup truck that tows a boat and a camper.

I always have it in the back of my mind that if "I" do something like that, some chemist somewhere is going to look at my engine and say something like, "Wow, who would have thought that could have ceated a new type of epoxy."

I just used this 5w30 SUV Mobil 1 oil in my 02 Camry, I-4, 109K miles.

If you go to the VOA section, and search, there is a side by side comparison of Mobil 1 5w30, Mobil 1 Truck and SUV 5w30, and 5w30 EP. You will see that the Mobil 1 Truck and SUV has a little more moly and boron than the regular 5w30, but the EP has more than the Mobil 1 Truck and SUV. According to Mobil 1, the Mobil 1 Truck and SUV has more antioxidants than either or the other two to help handle the higher heat of working engines.

I was at Walmart today and decided to take a look at their stock of Mobil 1 Truck and SUV...there was none.

Looks like I'm going to have to hunt it down.

I've been using this for several years now...so far so good.
