Mobil 1 has PAO and GTL in the mix and possibly other base oils like alkylated naphthalene that don't show on the SDS, Mobil Full Syn is like Supertech or other store brand synthetics it's a basic store brand group iii synthetic.
Oh hell for that I'm better off sticking with Kirkland signature!!! LMAOMobil 1 has PAO in the mix and possibly other base oils like alkylated naphthalene that don't show on the SDS, Mobil Full Syn is like Supertech or other store brand synthetics it's a basic store brand synthetic.
If it's the same price use either, but unless you're getting it at Autozone clearance prices, I see no reason to buy Mobil Synthetic over store brands that are cheaper.Oh hell for that I'm better off sticking with Kirkland signature!!! LMAO
I assume that's the autozone clearance, typically Mobil Full syn is more expensive than the store brand.

I'm with ya...BUT for $2 more for 5 quart jug, I'd feel better with Super Tech. Not staying its better or worse; based off so many UOA's here gives me added comfort. YMMV
PQIA did MAG1 and Mobil full syn not too long ago, the Mag1(same as Supertech, Meijer, Kirkland, etc) has more boron and less moly, while the Mobil has more moly and less boron, they look pretty similar otherwise, not much of a surprise, since Warren gets base oil from Exxon Mobil and they probably use a basic Dexos compliant lubricant template from Mobil.
I spoke with Warren distribution earlier today, I believe it was Ron from technical support said, Amazon basics and Kirkland signature was pretty much the same as Super tech 20,000 MI oil I don't know if that's true or false.. if you've looked at a virgin oil analysis you may know.. if you know just let me know..PQIA did MAG1 and Mobil full syn not too long ago, the Mag1(same as Supertech, Meijer, Kirkland, etc) has more boron and less moly, while the Mobil has more moly and less boron, they look pretty similar otherwise, not much of a surprise, since Warren gets base oil from Exxon Mobil and they probably use a basic Dexos compliant lubricant template from Mobil.

Antimony, interesting. Not a lot of it but it's there. And 12ppm silicon right out of the bottle...anti-foaming agent? Interesting.
Yes, Amazon, Kirkland, Supertech, Warren's own MAG1 brand are all the same oil with a different private label to my knowledge.
What about that 20K Super tech?
Blenders produce a lot of different blends.

I purchased the Mobil full synthetic high mileage 5w30 for a 3,000 mile oil change. The AutoZone in my area have a ton of Mobil full synthetic and high mileage full synthetic by the gallons and quarts....If they lower the price to $10 a gallon I'll stock up or go back to my usual Castrol edge high mileage 5w30 and a Mobil -209A extended performance filter or frame ultra xg3600 for two oil change intervals.
