Customer Reviews With Mobil 1 EP there is no need to change your oil every 3000 miles
This is the best oil out there for the regular driver who wants maximum protection for the car's engine. A little research brought me to the Mobil 1 Extended Performance line of Synthetic oils when searching for a product that could allow me more time between oil changes. Mobil 1 EP allows a 15,000 mile/1 year guaranteed life of the product. I have been using this in combination with their Mobil 1 filters for years. The cost is higher, but I only need to change the oil once a year!
Originally developed for aerospace, synthetic oils became commercially available in the 1960's. Some technical advantages Synthetic Oil has over Conventional Oil are [from Wikipedia]:
- Measurably better low and high temperature viscosity performance
- Better chemical & shear stability
- Decreased evaporative loss
- Resistance to oxidation, thermal breakdown and oil sludge problems
- Extended drain intervals with the environmental benefit of less oil waste.
- Improved fuel economy in certain engine configurations.
- Better lubrication on cold starts
By using a Synthetic oil not only will your engine be able to perform better, but it can also extend the engine life. I HIGHLY recommend use for those with more severe or high demand driving conditions.
Great Stuff
I have been using Mobile 1 Extended Performance 5w-30 in both my BMW and my Toyota for the last several years. Mobile 1 is recommended and original equipment in my BMW and has been great in the Toyota. I only drive each vehicle about 7-8k miles per year, but have had no problems going 12 months before changing. I also like the fact that less frequent oil changes are better for the environment. The extra cost of full synthetic oil is well worth it.
Just what I wass looking for.
Hard to find, but worth it.
I always run 7,000-15,000 miles between oil changes. Motor has 80K using this oil. Still runs like new.
