Mobil-1 is made up from 15 different base oils. It is the gold standard of synthetic oil. At least XOM thinks so.
Mobil Super Syn is made up from 132 different base oils because it is super.
Just kidding from Mobil "Mobil Super Synthetic is a full synthetic that uses synthetic-base oils. It outperforms our conventional and synthetic blend products. It meets or exceeds the latest industry requirements, GF-5 /API SN. The product offers performance consistent with many synthetics in the market."
So it seems XOM is trying to crack the "value syn" market with super.

Mobil 1 is their halo product. Super is more value oriented. Still a good oil but not their best.

I agree and being former military and part of my job was to find information from hundreds of thousands of documents and reports with some terrible search engines. BITOG is by far the worst.

Go to google and search the BITOG site instead of using the built in function.

I think this subject came up a bit around this time last year, when they first introduced it, and Oreilly auto parts had it on sale, which I think they do again.
From what I remember, the Super Syn was a 100% Group III basestock, with the exact same additive package as the conventional mobil super-which is to say just fine, but nothing amazing. Here is a VOA of super 5000 conventional:

It seems that they use Boron and some Ti02 as anti-wear additive, and Sodium as a detergent/dispersant (Valvoline likes to do this). Zinc is in line for an API SN oil, which is to say not a lot.
"regular" Mobil 1 is a mix of Group II/IV basestocks, and a completely different additive package. I couldn't find a VOA on m1 5w-30 done in the last year, but here is one on their 5w-30 "EP" oil:

TL;DR-It's a different oil that regular mobil 1, but I don't think your engine is going to blow up within 50 miles of pouring it in.

The Google site search is pretty unfriendly if I want to read the entire posting. I am also being polite because I would be banned if I gave my personal opinion on the subject.

This is what I meant by mr. Dos Equis.

Are you sure "regular" Mobil 1 isnt primarily a mix of GIII/IV?
First Ive heard of GII.
