Anyone ever watch projectfarm on YouTube? He has a really good oil comparison test video and mobile 1 wasnā€™t very high on the listā€¦.

Iā€™m sorry but you canā€™t say ā€œmobil1 wasnā€™t high on the listā€ because it is HIGHLY dependent on which mobil1. Mobil1 uses a wide variety of base oils and additive packages depending on intended use and certification requirements. As does pennzoil.

I believe it was the annual protection. Video is worth watching, I was impressed to see Amazon basics and super tech do better than Lucas and royal purple down with valvoline and penzoil. Personally Iā€™ve always used valvoline or motorcraft.

Annual protection mobile 1 is not a performance oil and is made for lazy people. The additives for that oil are to make it last not to give it the proper protection. if you buy this with the intention of running it for a year you deserve whatever happens

Sooooo what do the oil experts say to run in a Coyote for track use? My first free oil change that ended up not being free because Ford doesnā€™t know how to get their shit together, was Motorcraft 5w-30 (requested that over 5w-20 because of track usage, but didnā€™t tell them that).

Iā€™m due for the 2nd oil change at 3K and need to figure it out quickly :thumbsup:

The motorcraft 5w50 shreds quickly down to 40. I like to keep the oil numbers as close as possible. 10w40 would be good IMO but kinda hard to find in full synth. at >50F there's absolutely no point running a 5w base. You can get PPE in 10w30 and throw in like 3-4qts of VR1. Or run Castrol Magnetec 5w30 and add some of their 10w40 SN+ rated to the mix.

Grabbed another 20 quarts, so I'm good for 2 more changes. At least they delivered it free, even though the driver left it outside of my store that is open.

Just searched for Mobil 1 5W50 FS, everyone wants $10 a quart, with Amazon being a bit higher. Napa is having a sale this month for $5.99 a month. Time to stock up!

Thanks for the heads up, in for 30 qts, Castrol GTX 10W 40 . Spend a Franklin free shipping next day.

What a complete crock of shxt. Mobil one was at the forefront of synthetic motor oils as well as other lubricants from the early 60ā€™s. The most extensive testing thatā€™s been done on the various lubricants has and was done by the US Military. Mobil One goes back decades. The reality is, in todays world, any of the quality synthetics will do the job, and do it without missing s beat. Something else in the drivetrain in todays world will fail long before a modern day lubricant fails.

price isn't as good as last month but it's $7.29 which is still better than normal.
