Too Many Mobil Oil Choices

[Foxtrot08]

Let’s see…

You have R&D engineers trying to find problems for their solutions. And you have marketing interns trying to justify their paychecks. On top of that, you have a new regional manager that will be re-organized out of lubricants in the next 3-5 years. Whom, reports to a general manager of lubricants that is came from light ends / mid stream / refining 6 months ago and who is planning on retiring in 2 years.

See the problem yet?

Mobil 5000 was rated for 5k oil changes at a time when 3k was still factory spec'd. Therefore, Mobil1 is rated for 1 mile mileage intervals. Better get to changing! Lol

I'm a Mobil1 FSHM believer. It works, is reasonably priced (imo), and has never given me any issues in the dozen or so vehicles I've used it in over the years. Would I run it from new? Probably. Will probably never own another brand new vehicle, so that's really a rhetorical question and a moot point.

I also think that it's mileage limit (15k? Or is it 10k?) is more than sufficient since I go by time. 2x/year for my wife's short (<1mi) trip daily commute/direct injected Hyundai (usually has less than 2k miles at 6 months). Once a year for my longer interstate-tripped MPI Mazda, usually has 1500-2000 miles accrued in a year's time. Probably seen as a waste of money by a lot here, but it gives me peace of mind and I sleep well at night with one less thing to worry about!

BiL put 400k on a Chevy 1500 doing 5k’s on that M5000…
