How Long to Wait Before Switching New Car to Mobil 1?
Why are there so many opinions when to put Mobil 1 in a new vehicle? It seems like everyone that I ask, and I'm talking about mechanics, have a different opinion on when I can switch from the original...

Is 10W-30 Suitable for Cold Weather Use?
Can I use Mobil 1 High Mileage 10W-30 engine oil for my 100,000-mile car even though the manufacturer of my car recommends 5W-30? I did some research on the internet, and people seemed to say that whe...

Is a 15W-50 Oil Too Thick for Cold Temperatures, and Would Mixing with 0W-40 be Better?
I have a supercharged 2001 BMW 330ci with 107,000 miles on it. It has always burned oil, even when new. Now, however, it burns a quart in only 650 miles. I was told I should have been using 15W-50 syn...
New Jersey has cold enough winters that we recommend you continue to use 0W-40 at least in the winter. In the spring, summer and fall you can use Mobil 1 15W-50 and see if this improves your oil consu...
