The Benefits of Using Mobil 1™ Synthetic Oil
Schedule Oil Change Today!
Sterling, Virginia – When it comes to your car, are you the type of driver that believes nothing but the best will do? Or are you the kind that forgets your engine needs an oil change from time to time? Well, either way, there is good news. For many years, Mobil 1™ synthetic motor oil has been the leader in world-class engine lubrication. Mobil 1™ provides added protection for the engine in your car, truck, or SUV. It also increases the miles you travel between oil changes.
But, why Mobil 1™? What makes the brand superior to conventional motor oils, or to other synthetics? What are the benefits of using Mobil 1™ synthetic motor oil?
Best Synthetic Oil: Mobil 1™ Synthetic vs. Conventional Motor Oil
At one time, motor oil was just… oil. It was derived from crude oil and refined to provide lubrication in the high-temperature environment of an engine. It also had the ability to remain reasonably stable over long periods of time. And it still does. But “conventional” oil took a backseat in terms of performance and protection when Mobil 1™ climbed behind the wheel.
Made from carefully-selected components, Mobil 1™ synthetic oil was engineered to contain molecules that are more consistent and uniform in size than conventional motor oils. This helps to reduce friction in your engine.
Mobil 1™ is also enhanced to provide better:
- Protection from wear
- Performance over a broader range of temperatures
- Engine cleaning power
- Fuel economy and emissions performance
Mobil 1™ products are customized to meet specific demands, such as those of performance engines or high-mileage motors.
But really, aren’t all motor oils basically the same? Isn’t synthetic oil just an expensive gimmick?
Well, with proof of improved lubrication keeping components slick, better ability to maintain viscosity at high temperatures, reduced breakdown allowing for less-frequent oil changes, and far fewer engine deposits than conventional oil, the truth is this: the only category in which synthetic motor oils do not outperform conventional oils is the price. But when measured against the benefits, Mobil 1™ synthetic motor oil wins, hands-down.
Mobil 1™: A Track Record of Performance
And Mobil 1™ has had its share of winning. Since it was brought to market more than forty years ago, Mobil 1™ has been the frontrunner in synthetic engine lubrication both on the racetrack and off. Mobil 1™ took the checkered flag for the first time when it sponsored Williams Formula One Racing Team in 1978. A decade later, Mobil 1™ marked its first NASCAR win at Watkins Glen with Rusty Wallace. Today, Mobil 1™ is the official motor oil of NASCAR.
Success is not limited to the racetrack, though. Mobil 1™ boasts a history of rigorous real-world testing as well. In 1990, technicians installed the synthetic in a brand new BMW 325i to determine how it would perform. Then they ran the car’s engine continuously for four years – the equivalent of a million miles of service – with stops only for routine maintenance and service. The result of what was known as the Million Mile Test? They found no significant signs of wear. Most of the engine components were still within the manufacturer’s tolerances for a new engine.
Similar results were achieved during a 16-month “Drive Around the World Expedition” starting in 2003 that covered 28,000 miles from the intense heat of the Mojave Desert to the bitter cold of Siberia – without a single oil change. And later, Mobil 1™ was put to the test in Las Vegas taxis running 24/7. After more than 120,000 miles of stop-and-go abuse in the desert, the engines again showed almost no signs of wear.
Mobil 1™ Performance in Your Car
With wins on the racetrack, in the lab, and through real-world tests, Mobil 1™ has proven itself time and time again. Auto manufacturers agree. Testing under the current industry performance standard from the International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) shows that Mobil 1™ outperforms not only conventional motor oils, but other full synthetics as well. In fact, it performs far better than industry standards.
So, what does Mobil 1™ do for you? Yes, it sticks to engine components to keep them slick, clean and protected. Yes, it maintains consistent viscosity over a wide range of temperatures. And yes, it neutralizes harmful acids in your engine to protect critical components for the long haul. But, most importantly, Mobil 1™ gives you peace of mind knowing that you have the world’s leading synthetic motor oil protecting your engine.
When it comes to being in the winner’s circle, Mobil 1™ shows that experience counts. And Mobil 1™ has been there again and again for more than forty years. So, when it comes to choosing a synthetic motor oil for your vehicle, choose the clear winner.
