New Mobil 1 Advanced Clean

[fantastic]

I doubt he's going to be detailed enough to say, but it would be useful to know if this was the original formula or the recently reformulated version.

I didn't know there were two formations of the new Mobil Advanced Clean?
I'd imagine they'd want to start out with API SQ?

I’m really looking forward to the TEOST, PDSC, and shear stability test results of Valvoline Restore and Protect.

I really like how they tell us the HT/HS of each grade. But it would be better if they put it on their sell sheets too. 3.2 for a 30 grade not bad. I do wonder how well the shear stability is since it's not marketed as a long drain or extended drain oil. Usually, those oils seem to stand up better with higher miles on them as you well know.

Looking forward to it as well & thanks I didn't know about it.

I wonder why he chose the 5W-20 flavor for the comparison. Seems the 0W-20 and 5W-30 are far more popular viscosities.

They're both SQ. The original formula has better PDS stats and the reformulation is a reaction to the shortage of base stocks.

Ah, got it. Thanks

Yes I agree. He also chose 5W-20 during the Mobil 1 lab comparison. Strange?

So far (1k miles) on the first run of Advanced Clean after a life of Supertech, my Odyssey is not showing any improvement in varnish from what’s visible under the oil fill cap.

Not anything scientific, just checking periodically out of curiosity. I’ll post before/after pics once I change the oil at 5k.
