Is Mobil Super High Mileage a syn blend and has anyone used this oil?

thanks!

its a great oil. I believe it is in fact a syn-blend oil.

Mobil Super High Mileage is a premium conventional oil. So no, it is not a synthetic blend. I found this info on Mobil's website, so go look for yourself.

Yes it is a syn blend. Says so right on the back of the jug.

I have used it too 5W-30, but my GM 3.1 runs quieter on Pennzoil High Mileage Vehicle.

They do not have a picture of the jug (front or back), but the web site does say conventional. Curious why the label and site would differ.

From the Mobil Super website:

"Mobil Super High Mileage uses a combination of synthetic and conventional high quality base oils combined with modern performance additives to help provide long engine life and outstanding protection for vehicles with more than 75,000 miles."

Then why's it cost two dollars more ?

It is a synthetic blend.

I don't know if it's a blend or not, but I ran it in my old Camry. Seemed to help the oil burning on cold startup and whatnot, but car had over 300k when sold. Didn't expect any miracles, but consumption was lower than with the regular stuff.

Mobil talks out of both sides of their mouth on this one.

2010_FX4 shows part of their website where it states it's a blend, but the same website also states...

So everyone is really just guessing and Mobil could care less to clarify since the question's been asked and their tech line has also given both as answers.

Says it is a syn blend from the product data sheet.

Also, on the back of the five quart jug I bought about 4 months ago it says that it's syn blend.

Guess it all depends if you want to believe the PDS or the marketing material on the bottle

Still good stuff regardless.

I typically go with PDS but this thing irks me. Mobil is so good with their information otherwise. Leaps and bounds better than the other majors, IMO.
