Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Mobil 1 in older vehicles with high mileage?

Mobil in Canada
Yes you can. Mobil 1 can help increase the life of all engines, even those in older vehicles and/or with high mileage. The extra cleaners in Mobil 1 can help clear stuck rings to help restore engine efficiency. In fact, Mobil 1 with SuperSynTM 10W-30 is ideal for these applications. Keep in mind, however, that Mobil 1 cannot correct an existing engine problem.

So how is Mobil 1 for passenger cars different from Mobil 1 for motorcycles?

FAQs for Oil Products
First, let's be clear about Mobil 1's overall benefits compared to those of conventional motor oils, whether for passenger cars or motorcycles: It's a little hard to generalize about the difference between Mobil 1 passenger-car motor oils and Mobil 1 motorcycle oils. That's because not all viscosities of Mobil 1 passenger-car oils have the same levels of zinc and phosphorus, and there are even greater differences among the three Mobil 1 motorcycle oils. See similar questions...

I have a high mileage vehicle; can I switch to Mobil Clean 5000?

Mobil Clean 5000 FAQs
Yes you can. However, another outstanding choice is Mobil Clean High Mileage. Mobil Clean High Mileage provides the same boosted cleaning performance as Mobil Clean 5000 to keep engines clean longer, and it includes seal conditioner to help prevent leaks in higher mileage vehicles. You can mix Mobil Clean 5000 with other oils and use other oils to top up. Be aware that mixing other oils with Mobil Clean 5000 could void the Mobil Clean 5000 Motor Oil Limited 5000 Mile or 6-Month Warranty. See similar questions...

What about Mobil 1 V-Twin oil? How is that different from Mobil 1 for passenger cars?

FAQs for Oil Products
Mobil 1 Extended Performance contains an extra performance additive to help deliver exceptional performance and protection. This fully synthetic technology is designed specifically for longer service intervals. Appropriate viscosities of Mobil 1 Extended Performance also meet all the requirements for GF-4. Additionally, they exceed the requirements of API SL/CF and various ACEA (European) specifications. (Updated March 2006) See similar questions...

What's the overall benefit of Mobil 1 with SuperSyn Technology?

It is designed for vehicles under warranty and will provide protection for the maximum oil change interval recommended in your owner's manual or by your oil life sensor. The overall goal for Mobil 1 has always been to protect your engine, even under the most severe conditions, such as cold starting temperatures, extreme high-temperature operations and high-load conditions.

What happened to Mobil 1 Racing 2T?

FAQs for Oil Products

What are the overall advantages of Mobil 1 motorcycle oils?

FAQs for Oil Products
In addition to the overall benefits listed above – specifically, high-temperature stability and low volatility/low oil consumption – Mobil 1 synthetic motorcycle oils also offer superior anti-corrosion performance compared to conventional motor oil, which is important in many parts of the country where bikes may sit in garages for several months of the year. See similar questions...

Okay. Let's start with Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40. What does it offer that Mobil 1 for cars does not?

FAQs for Oil Products
Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 is designed for sport bikes. Most of these bikes have multi-cylinder/multi-valve engines and use a common sump, which means the engine oil lubricates the engine, transmission and wet clutch. So unlike Mobil 1 for cars, Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 has no friction modifiers, which could lead to clutch slippage. The motorcycle oil also has more phosphorus/zinc for enhanced wear protection at high engine speeds and high loads. See similar questions...

Do I need to flush my engine before switching to Mobil 1 Extended Performance?

FAQs for Oil Products
These claims relate to all typical consumer driving conditions, excluding those mentioned below. In other words, if you drive under normal conditions and use Mobil 1 Extended Performance in your vehicle, the oil is guaranteed to protect your engine for 15,000 miles. We also recommend that drivers consult their owner’s manual while their vehicle is under warranty, and follow the guidelines set forth there. See similar questions...

Is Mobil 1 with SuperSyn Technology a fully synthetic motor oil?

FAQs for Oil Products
Yes, it is. To meet the demanding requirements of today's specifications (and our customers' expectations), Mobil 1 with SuperSyn uses high-performance fluids, including polyalphaolefins (PAOs), along with a proprietary system of additives. Each Mobil 1 with SuperSyn viscosity grade uses a unique combination of synthetic fluids and selected additives in order to tailor the viscosity grade to its specific application. See similar questions...

If I use Mobil 1, will I need to use a special oil filter?

Mobil in Canada
While Imperial Oil recommends that you use a high-quality filter, you can use the same type of oil filter that you would normally use with conventional oil. See similar questions...

Can I use an oil supplement and/or engine treatment with Mobil 1?

Mobil in Canada
Imperial Oil does not recommend it. According to the American Petroleum Institute (API) and Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers (AAM), “certified oils eliminate the need for supplemental engine-oil additives.” In fact, the use of any oil supplement is not recommended by car manufacturers and may void a warranty. Considering the comprehensive testing and engineering that has gone into Mobil 1, nothing can be gained by using these supplements. See similar questions...

Can I use Mobil 1 as a break-in oil for a rebuilt engine?

Mobil in Canada
Yes, but the timing of your first oil change will depend largely on the quality of the rebuild. Due to the tighter tolerances and improved machining of today’s engines, the traditional concept of ‘engine break-in’ is not as critical. However, if the engine rebuilder is using older machining equipment or lower-quality components, abrasive material can be left inside the engine. In this case, you should use a short drain interval on your initial oil fill. See similar questions...

Will the use of Mobil 1 void my new-car warranty?

Mobil in Canada
With the exception of the Mazda rotary engine (Mazda does not recommend any synthetic oils), Mobil 1 will not void new-car warranties. Mobil 1 exceeds the API and ILSAC engine-oil service requirements of all new-car manufacturers, both import and domestic. If in doubt, always check your vehicle owner’s manual or contact your vehicle’s manufacturer. See similar questions...

Where can I find Mobil 1 with SuperSyn in Canada?

Mobil in Canada
