New Mobil 1 Advanced Clean

[tolian21]

I just did again. And the PDS that is available for Mobil1 Extended Performance 0w-20 does indicate PAO; it’s the same one I posted earlier that is dated August 16th 2024.

If you have access to a newer SDS please post for accuracy.

We’ve merely been comparing the Mobil 1 Extended Performance lineup to this new product “Advanced Clean” to see if it might be the successor to Mobil 1 Extended Performance (rather than permanently sharing shelf space together) and while Mobil 1 Extended Performance used to contain PAO in more of its products; they no longer do except for the one we’re discussing.

Advanced Clean, otoh, seems like it could be a really nice oil to the Mobil 1 portfolio and appears to slot itself in ahead of Mobil 1 Extended Performance now with PAO through the AC lineup.

Sorry, I was thinking of Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w30, if I remember right it’s latest SDS does not show PAO ?

Correct. No other Mobil 1 Extended Performance grade; Mobil 1 Extended Performance High Mileage included, contains PAO per SDS other than Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w-20.

How many percent PAO in Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0W-20?

How many percent PAO in Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0W-20?

According to this it’s anywhere between 10% and 25%:

The same percentage is apparently in the Advanced Clean, with varying degrees of GTL which are not present in the Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w-20.

So, clearly an overall GTL base with decent PAO content for this new formulation of AC.

What's the K viscosity at 100 degrees on the Mobil 1 Advanced Clean 0w20 and the 5w30? I can't seem to pull it up.

Nevermind. I see it. 8.1 and 10.1, respectively.

Earlier today changes my Wife's 2014 Acura RDX with Mobil 1 Annual Protection.

Purchased the Mobil 1 Annual Protection OOA DEC 2019 at numerous AutoZones in Salt Lake City for $1 per quart. I sleep well at night using this oil after sitting in a plastic container for six +/- years. Wife drives about 2k miles annually (maybe a lot less), I change the oil in her Acura ever six-nine months.

Lots of Valvoline Restore and Protect fans on BITOG. I haven't seen anything that would influence me to change to a newly released oil, over my stash.

I've read somewhere that unused bottled full synthetic oil only has 5 year shelf life because the additives, etc can deteriorate/separate.


For your application, I don't think it matters much since your wife's mileage is low & you change it frequent enough.

Advanced clean 5w-30 contains PAO, but Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w30 does not.

 

[cryptolyme]

this just seems like a Valvoline Restore and Protect knockoff with none of the proof

Mobil making a knockoff, that's laughable

From a marketing standpoint it totally makes sense for Mobil 1 to take advantage of the Valvoline Restore and Protect success with essentially only a name change. Mobil 1 has a history of keeping things clean but Valvoline has a history of cleaning up pistons with Premium Blue Restore and now Restore and Protect.

What is it only a name change from?

Based on EP when it was 20k and advertised as cleaning in one oil change.

Nope. EP 5w30 did not have PAO. Look at the PDS and SDS. There are differences.

I know they are not exactly the same ingredient wise as I did the first VOA posted here.

I don’t have any qualms with using older oil. The first thing that comes out of suspension are the anti-foam additives.

Just give your bottle a good vigorous shake. My stash is usually 2 to 4 years worth of oil. If I run lower than 1 year, I get a little nervous. LOL.

@buster

Eh not much here. I shoulda watched before posting, thought we would get some advanced clean info lol

Now that it's been 6+ months since Mobil 1 Advanced Clean was released, has there been any evidence that it works anywhere close to Valvoline Restore and Protect (cleans carbon deposits & frees piston rings) & not just marketing double speak ("clean your engine in one oil change")?

It's still WIP. It's too early yet.
First people who got the oil it was mid October and then we don't know ehen they started using it.

Mobil 1 Extended Performance vs Mobil 1 Advanced Clean : Too close to call ?

I posted some Filter Photos in the filter section from the runs on the two oils. Take them with a grain of salt plz as you can see the whole discussion.
