It's been a while since we saw a VOA of Mobil-1 Extended Performance, so, since I saw on my recent last oil change the Mobil-1 5W-30 EP that I use had on the bottle itself gone to ILSAC GF-4 and API SM lables, I thought it'd be interesting to see what a VOA looked like, with TBN.
Enjoy!

Blackstone Comments: The TBN of this oil read 10.0, very high. 1.0 is considered low. The viscosity of this oil was in middle of the SAE 30W range and no moisture was found. It would be correct for a 0W/30 or 10W/30 as well. The molybdenum is an anti-wear additive as are phosphorus and zinc. Boron, calcium (the dominant additive), and magnesium are all detergent/dispersant additives. Silicon is an anti-foam additive and sodium is a trace element and not a problem. This oil should serve your engine(s) well.
