To keep your engines safe here are a few reasons to pay attention to mobil 1 synthetic oil.  With modern engines these days it has become increasingly important to pay attention to the motor oils your use be it synthetic motor oil or regular old dinosaur oil (conventional motor oil).

Engine compartments are more compact and more prone to temperature issues and engine design change very rapidly means it is very important for oil to live up to (and beyond) its design expectations.  I want the best engine oil available to protect my engine.

Though they seem simple motor oils are very complex and a lot goes into the proper formulation.  There are a couple of key classifications of motor oils and one is which type of base synthetic stock is being used.  There two primary classifications for synthetic motor oil one is class III and the other is class IV.  Class IV are PAO basestocks and some of the best oils on the market are made from this class of oil.

Mobil 1 synthetic oil super syn is a premium oil in my opinion since it is made with PAO basestock.  This is one of the reasons I like Mobil oil.  It has been around a long time and was almost first to market.  Though they did not pioneer the synthetic oil movement they do use PAO basestocks.

It is worth mentioning that mobil has enough confidence in their product to post the extended mileage interval on their bottles.  I have not checked in awhile but the last time I looked at their extended oil change product it was calling out a 15,000 mile oil change interval.  Only a few companies are willing to publish extended oil change intervals for their products.  My favorite benefit to synthetic oil is less oil changes every year with no sacrifice for engine protection.

Number three on the list of likes is the good level of engine wear protection.  The first priority in a motor oil is wear protection and once you reach a critical threshold of protection you don’t get much better than Mobil.  When you spend the extra money for synthetic oil you want better protection and if you get the right products you also get the convenience and cost savings of fewer oil changes.
