It seems Mobil Japan is the only place where Mobil is even remotely revealing about there formulations for each weight/grade of Mobil 1 they offer. I have followed their marketing explanations from a link I got here a few years ago. Most all weight grades were PAO based( Group IV) EXCEPT for...

Hi Guys:) Picked up 6 qts at 1 Autozone in my area(they still had 4 qts behind the 6 I bought that was old stock US 0w30) and 2 qts from another Autozone, both stores discounted at the check-out also. I asked at the store I bought the 2 qts from if they could order me another case or 2(I have...

Hi robl Maxlife full synthetic is primarily Group III petroleum(Hydrocracked/Isomerized) base oil with a percentage(20-30%)of GroupIV PAO in the blend. This is a very good oil for the money. Check out the UOA's posted here and many positive comments from BITOGER's. Best regards, Randi

My understanding is that PP and Rotella Syn utilize the same Shell XHVI Group III base oil which is isomerized from slack wax, and is recognized as a very high quality base stock that can perform as well as it's Group IV/V competitors. As far as add packs are concerned, PP and RTS are designed...

Gave my son a Fumoto quick drain valve, Frantz oil filter kit and 3 gallons of RTS 5w40 for his '91 Dodge Cummins diesel. Had to get him up to snuff with Dad's 98 Dodge Cummins He already has LC20 and FP60 in his stash Randi

Nice site, but WHEW ! $3.00 per quart shipping to upstate NY. $5.20 per quart for Supreme 9000 by the gallon PLUS $3.00 per qt. shipping = $8.20 per qt. overall cost. I have been looking seriously at the Supreme 9000 for some time but cannot justify that kind of outlay to switch from my 24 valve...

I use the Scott 1000 with 1 1/2" in my Frantz setup also:) Randi

Sorry for the typo's in that last post:) The first sentence should read " on pricing of only $.40 a gallon difference" Randi

Hi:) I'm not sure about your statement on pricing of only $.40 a gallon. Last time I bought RTS 5W40 at Wally world I got 8 galoons at $15.97 per gallon. The list on the excellent Amsoil 5W40 CJ-4 had it listing at a little over $27.00 a gallon, with a discount for preferred customers. Even...

There certainly is:) I run Mobil 1 (Truck+SUV) 5W-40 in our 2000 Passat 1.8T. As I understand from the excellent info provided for reading here by the membership, the current Mobil 1 5W-40 is the same formulation as the HDEO Delvac 1. Combined with a Mobil 1 filter it has been working very well...
