Super 5000 is SN/GF5.

I was about to post about this today, but searched first and saw this post. Here are some pics, anyway:

It's not Dexos approved? IMO....I'd rather get Peak Full Synthetic for $2.95 a quart for 5w-20, at Advance Auto.

Looks like Target is the only one selling this Mobil Special. Maybe the same as Exxon Special but now in a blue bottle except no Moly or Boron. This is the sodium fortified Add Pack like Mobil Super Conventional.

Sorry, that's not correct.
Mobil special uses the traditional moly add pack with a strong dose of calcium, no boron though. Does not contain sodium like the super does. PQIA did a test of it in the SN flavor.

Thank you Volk for correcting my mis-information to the board.
