Does
the Mobil 1 Extended Performance meet GF-4 specifications? How did the new
specification impact the development of the high-endurance product line?
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)
What is
the difference between Mobil 1® Extended Performance and Mobil 1?
Mobil 1 Extended Performance formulas are
designed specifically for today's longer service intervals and are guaranteed to
protect for up to 15,000 miles or one year.
Mobil 1 Extended Performance has a unique formulation with a boosted level of
protection and performance. Mobil 1 Extended Performance, with the Advanced
SuperSyn System, contains 50 percent more SuperSyn than Mobil 1. (Updated March

If
Mobil 1 Extended Performance is recommended for 15,000-mile intervals, what’s
the maximum limit to which it can be pushed? In other words, if a driver goes an
extra 1,000 miles or so, is he going to damage his engine?
Mobil 1 Extended Performance is recommended
for up to 15,000-mile or one-year oil change intervals. However, if your vehicle
manufacturer recommends an oil change interval beyond 15,000 miles and Mobil 1
meets the performance level specified, you can be assured that Mobil 1 will go
the distance.
