One of the quickie lube chains claims to use new, not recycled Mobil motor oil for it's standard oil changes. It appears to be a step down from the Mobil Clean 5000. Does anyone have any input to how this oil compares to the other conventional oils-YB, GTX, etc?
 
I'm curious myself. When Mobil went from being plain Mobil to being Drive Clean 5000, did the formulation change or just the name? If so, this would be what I suspect the Mobil Standard to be, the pre- DC 5000 formulation.
 
nahh....instead of guessing, why not go there and beg for a small sample and then submit to Dyson labs for VOA testing? That would give you an idea as to how "close" it is compared to Mobile 5000

Q.
 
Yea I would guess its just a bulk oil sold per drum. Probally not as good as the stuff you can get in a quart at pepboys. But it will work fine.
 
Just before Mobil came out with the 5000, 7500, 15000 mile oils it had release a Mobil oil that was one of the first to meet the GF-4 standard. Heck I think it was SL/GF-4 and then when the 5K stuff released it was SM/GF-4. I was using it as one of the few to list MS-6395 for my new Neon at the time 04/04 winter.

Should be fine. Like Pennzoil to QuakerState or Shell. Told it is a touch different but still a good oil.

Yes, the "drum grade" Mobil oil is very similar, if not exactly like Exxon Superflo. So if you have used Superflo in the past, youll certainly like the drum grade Mobil.
 
We really need to recruit an inside man from EM. There's so many questions we could get definitive answers to.

For example, "Why is Valvoline Synthetic 4x better than Mobil 1."
