Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w20 is no longer special with latest formulation change, you can get something else

The OG Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w20, which was majority PAO, would have kicked the API RP's teeth in on cold temp performance. The API RP (HPS) 0W-20 has a pour point of -47C, which points to very little if any PAO in the base oil blend.

The CCS for it at 5,729cP certainly isn't remarkable. The old Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0W-20 had a CCS visc of 4,182cP.

My custom "Euro" 0W-20 has a CCS visc of 4,566cP and a pour point of -63C (-81F).

Why not try a local parts store if they don’t have it in stock I’m sure they can get it the next day. How much time did you waste checking other Walmarts. Probably only $10 or 15 more. Buy local.

opps stand corrected,,the pour point is -54f,on the royal purple,there must be other choices,,mobil 1 is found at may places,it a very good engine oil,have used it myself

This horse is dead, it has been dug up, beaten again, and reburied.

did a bit of checking ,on amazon you can obtain triax euro ultra lv,for $64.45 PER (6) QUARTS,,THE POUR POINT IS -60F,MEETS DEXOS GEN 2,AND MANY EURO SPECS,,AND IS PAO,ESTER BASED OIL,NOT SURE OF THE PERCENTS,SEEMS LIKE A GOOD DEAL IF Mobil 1 IS HARD TO LOCATE.

I picked up a jug of Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w20 today. No shortages where I am.

Got tired of looking myself. Walking through Costco and heard the two jug Kirkland synthetic 0w20 box calling my name. Less than 40 bucks for 10 quarts. Pretty easy choice at that moment.

what do you recommend ?

I honestly would love to use the ACDELCO OIL FOR MY TRUCK BUT THERE IS NO WAY I AM PAYING 12$ QUART FOR IT.

 

[johnD2]

If I paid that much for a truck you best believe I'd be running a boutique brand oil and the best oil filter (Fram Titianium imo) you could find. Stick with a factory air filter or something very comparable. As it is just as important if not more than the oil/oil filter you choose. HPL or Redline. End of story.

 

[Jackson_Slugger]

You know you can order online then pick up in store or get free shipping if you buy 2 or 3?

 

[johnD2]

This is just me but ,I'm not gonna pay 70k or 80k for a truck , then draw a line in the sand on how much I spend for a oil change.

its not about the money its about the profit they are making out of people, do you think sc deco worth 13 dollars per quart ? they ripping people off, that's the part I don't like, so I refuse to purchase their oil. their oil os at best 4$ not 13........

what do you recommend ?

I’m also wondering. My last oil change I purchased Quaker State Full Synthetic 0w-20 for our accord. So what is comparable to the old Mobil 1 Extended Performance formula?
