Mobil 1 SM, GF4 TSUV 5w30, EP5w30, 0w20, R 0w30

[dcoyne78]

Analyses by Blackstone done Nov and Dec 2006 for Mobil 1 Truck and SUV 5w30, Mobil 1 EP 5w30, and Mobil 1 0w20. All are API SM, ILSAC GF4 oils. Also added a recent VOA for Mobil 1 Racing 0w30 (don't know if it is an SM, GF4 or an older bottle or if its a Blackstone analysis.) Not new info, just putting them side by side for easy comparison.

[Auto-Union]

I'd like to see SL 0w-30 in there.

 

[TR3-2001SE]

Thanks for the update on these. About what I expected but nice to have updated results.

Adding recent (3/7/07) M1 0w40 SM below, note high TBN, B and Ca, looks good:

I have to wonder how the M1 0w-40 would work in a couple of John Deere 80 HP utility tractors for wintertime use.

 

[98LSC32V]

Any more comments on the Mobil 1 R 0w-30? Would this be a good oil for a daily driver?

 

[johnbottilaw]

Its a fantastic oil for any use, but has been discontinued. It is still available through avlube I think.

 

[98LSC32V]

I contacted AVLube, they have none left unfortunately.

 

[mikeg5]

are these synthetics or dino oils??

 

[Eddie]

All are synthetics

 

[mikeg5]

those arent bad #'s for synthetic 5w-30's it seems like the extra protection in 5w-30 is pretty good. i have a 2002 tacoma v6 4x4 that calls for 5w-30 and i have been using the regular mobile 1 syn 5w-30 for over 40k miles (90k miles on the truck).. looks like i may be getting my $$ worth with the EP mobile 1 syn 5w30.. what do you guys think?
