Mobil 1 Advance Fuel Economy Engine oil ????

http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/...l_1_0W-30.aspx

Hmm .... lol !

Yeah Yeah I know what some of you might say, but hey, it saids its new formula, but it looks like just some rebranded crap.

it looks really good on paper (typical corporate bs). hehe

I have yet to see these in stores tho, has anybody seen it b4?? Comes in either 0w20 or 0w30, Green Cap. (instead of typical blue cap)

"Mobil 1 0W-30 Advanced Fuel Economy is recommended for all types of modern gasoline engines found in passenger cars" (emphasis added)

Hey, cool, this settles the synthetic debate.


But really, $300 over 100,000 miles? Miniscule savings. Ridiculous marketing.

exactly, you'll spend more than $400 changing your oil with mobil 1 instead of GTX.
