New M1 EP labels ("Triple Action Formula")

I believe that all/most higher end line of a/any brands synthetic oil make these claims...and even more advantages. Even SuperTech shows on their back label the advantages of moving to higher end oil(s) across the lineup.

Nice to see they finally added "SAE" before the viscosity grade as required by the API. They must be reading this site or PQIA's.
I think M1 poached that meme right from a bottle like this, which I have in my medicine cabinet.
I have two jugs of Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30. Neither have the Triple Action Formula labeling. Both have the Dexos logo and both are GF6A and SN Plus rated. Maybe they are just using up the old packaging first for that weight and then will claim it is "new and improved" ?
The Dexos label is usually applied to only 0W-20 and 5W-30. Some 5W-20 have it but I have never seen a 10W-30 have the label. It's been posted what the reasons are for this but I forget.

10W-30 isn't a dexos grade motor oil.
Triple Action Formula is listed on the regular flavor of Mobil 1 as well as Dexos 1 Gen 3 apparently...

Maybe mobil start using more Poa AN and ester then before because all cailm triple actions similar to group 4 and group 5 oil base so maybe little
I would run M1 EP 10W-30 in ANY car even the fussy European engines!
It probably can pass bunch of these European standards and then some.
Buy it now while supplies last
btw, I use it in 2 cars and never have to add a drop of oil between oil changes. Stays at F the entire time!

I've been waiting 47 years for a Mobil 2

I should add that I don't go over 6500-7500 miles with M1 EP but the price is right even for 7000 miles. So when I said it doesn't burn any oil, I am never anywhere near the 20K mikes.
Sorry, I don't trust ANY oil to 20,000 miles. That could be tar city territory for the poor engine.
Interesting to see a uoa of a 20K black ink.

I've seem to recall a 21,000+ mi UOA of M1 EP in the UOA Section. As best I recall the oil still had around 3.4 TBN but he had like a 180 mile round trip daily highway commute and put the miles on in around 4 months. I seem to recall 1 qt of add oil about 3,000 mi before the end of the run. Don't hold me to the exact numbers but I think they are close. I really need to start bookmarking this stuff.
Honestly any SP GF-6 oil would likely have lasted 10,000+ mi in that application in that engine.
no oil in my honda 1.5gtdi will last 15k let alone 20k...i bet even 10k uoa would look nasty....
