This is what mobil 1 said on their site: "Mobil 1® Extended Performance is a new high-endurance motor oil with 36 percent more anti-wear additives and 37 percent more cleaning agents than current Mobil 1 formulations. It is a fully synthetic formulation that helps extend engine life, reduce oil breakdown and minimize engine wear -- all while helping to keep your engine clean. Improvements that add up to exceptional protection for 15,000 miles. Guaranteed. "
Hi I ve been using this mobil 1 for more than two years now on my es,,, by passing the 2k miles it will turn to dark brown and almost black, though I am changing the oil filter each time I go for oil change. I am afraid to keep it for more than 2000 miles honestly. The only reason I keep using the oil due to better performance I felt in my car since I convert to mobile1

You should never judge an oil by its color if you really want to find out how the oil is holding up do an oil analysis. This should give you a piece of mind.

Amsoil here personally......25,000 miles or 1 year intervals (Amsoil oil filter needs to be changed at 6 months).

Hi,

How can I do an oil analysis?? you know this type of oil (mobile1) is too expinsive comparing to others and I beleive it should last longer. But the color which means it's burned out (generally) keeps me worry about keeping it for more than milahes mentioned above.

thanks a lot for your advice.
Really waiting for your respond.

Oh my god...


As stated everywhere on Earth, color has nothing to do with the shape oil is in... Every oil discolors at some point. Which is mostly determined by what kind of crap is in the engine to begin with.




How do you do an oil anylisys??? The same as everyone else. Buy a sample kit & mail it off.
