Mobil 1000 dino

[drystart]

Hello fellow tribologists. I was wondering if anyone has had experiences(either good or bad) with mobil 1000 dino? It was on sale at the local Canadian Tire so I bought a jug for my latest change.Grade was 10w30. Owners manual says 10w30 ok for O deg.F.and above.Driving a 2009 Accent 1.6l. The engine is noticeably quieter with this grade than the 5w20. Thanks for your input.

First, Mobil 1000? lol. here we only have Mobil 5000.....stated "guaranteed" to go 5000 miles.....

Secondly, why the jump from 5W-20, to 10w30....? That's a big jump....since it is still winter, I'd personally stay with the 5W-20 or 5w30 for "winter".....come April/May/June, then go ahead and change it to the 10w30.....

Now if you were referring to the Mobil "5000" - yes, that is a great oil.......check the search function

If you really meant "Mobil 1000" - then sorry, no idea But my recommendation still stands

Mobil 1000 is made by Mobil owned Imperial Oil in Canada. Here is the data sheet.

It is a good quality conventional oil. I believe it is Mr. Lube's house oil but am not 100% sure.

I've used it with success in the past. It's usually the cheapest oil if one cannot find a sale (i.e. at places like the Wholesale Club, it's always very attractively priced).

Thread I started in December regarding this oil disapointing cold temp specs. There are dinos better suited to cold winters.

Castrol GTX has been Mr. Lube's house oil for decades.

Not trying to call you out, just letting you know.
