So here's a pic after 9k miles of using the Mobil 1 Annual 5W-30, that
was in my oil catch can from a 2019 Explorer Sport that has twin turbos on it. And I have beat the snot out of this engine. For the records, this is lowest amount of oil ever. I'm so pissed I can't find it anymore....
Perhaps an interesting question about the Mobil 1 Annual that I can't find now.

Sorry it came out messed up. But hopefully you all still get the point.
Seriously? I could probably drink that much oil with no ill affects. So the other day I resorted to buying the Mobil 1 EP 5W-30. I'm sure it's a great oil but their Annual, to me, was amazing!!
In order for a product to stay on the shelf it has to sell, and it didn't.
What's the point?
The point is I have never seen such a low amount of oil in my catchcan.... Which to me is that it is not burning off in the combustion chamber.
I know, and that sucks.... I bought a bunch of 0W-20 for my Escape. That oil is very underestimated in my opinion.
Huh. Not a whole lot you're going to do about it.
How do you know there isn't an other oil that behaves exactly the same?

honestly I don't know. Aside from the Motorcraft oil that would leave my catchcan almost filled after just 3k miles.
What's the "interesting question"?
Why is there such a small amount of oil in my catch can using the Annual Mobil 1? And why is not available everywhere?
I've been using the EP for quite a long time in my other cars. I honestly think the Annual was better. Do I have proof. No.
I could be wrong, but I think people have consistently said that the AP was better, but the EP is almost as good.
I am even seriously thinking getting some this week, if I still can. (On sale)
As to the post about the Interesting Question, I am not sure why a small amount of oil in your catch can is a factor. Did your engine use or burn all the oil? If so, that could be a concern, if you ran your engine low on oil . This catch can, it obviously is not the oil pan where oil drains out, so, its function, please?
No sir. The intent of my question revolved around why I had so little in my catch can using the Annual MB1 after 9k miles.... that's all... as compared to MC 5W-30.
was it that $$$$ much better!! surely Redline is one of the best but $$$$. there are better oils that cost more because of costlier ingredients + since wallys dont sell them you gotta pay $$$$. i run only Redline in my 300 hp TT with a 4.25 qt sump + feel its worth the $$$
Since AP is no longer available I would give ESP and/or EP a try and compare the outcome.
I'm assuming he is talking about a catch can in the PCV circuit to catch the oil and keep the engine from consuming it. I have one on my Supercharged Mustang.
