Please summarize Mobil 1 Extended Performance!!!

[MinnesotaNole]

Can someone please give me the lowdown on this oil?

Such as strengths and weaknesses and performance in UOA's?

Is this a worthwhile oil for extended drains?

Is it a good choice or is there something better?

 

[JAG]

For the price, I have not been impressed with any of the EP versions based on any data I've seen.
What engine and driving habits?

I think if you plan on going 15k miles on the same oil, yes, M1 EP is a good choice. However, if you are not going to extend drains, no synthetic is worth it at this point. Any API SM oil will do a good job protecting your engine under normal service intervals that your manual calls for.

I can summarise it in two words: Group III . . .

 

[DINO_NO]

but merkava, its slippery though.

 

[Patman]

To sum it up, it honestly has not shown itself to be any better than regular Mobil 1, it's just more expensive.

 

[Triple_Se7en]

Noisy & too expensive.

 

[buster]

Should be better.
