Mobil 1 Extended Performance vs. AMSOIL Synthetic

Ok, the numbers are in. Mobil 1 STILL can't match AMSOIL (even with their new EP product). In testing done August of 2005 against 10 brand name petroleum and synthetic oils, AMSOIL came out the clear winner, even over the new and "amaaaaazing" Mobil 1 Extended Performance oil. You can see the information for yourself in a moment, but here are some highlights:

• Mobil 1 EP Evaporates 38% Faster Than AMSOIL
• Mobil 1 EP Allows 18% More Cold Start Friction
• Mobil 1 EP Allows 22% MORE Wear

In addition, on the TFOUT test, the "Thin Film Oxygen Uptake Test" (ASTM D-4742), which provides a very good correlation to the drain interval capability of an AMSOIL synthetic oil, AMSOIL passed the 500 minute cut-off mark with no problem at all, while Mobil 1 Extended Performance missed the mark at only 469 minutes. Now, 469 minutes is significantly better than most of the competing oils, so you've got to give Mobil some credit. But, the AMSOIL product could actually have continued longer. Unfortunately, since the test parameters limit the test run time to 500 minutes, we were cut short of finding out just exactly how far the AMSOIL oil could really go.

Either way, it's unimportant. AMSOIL offers considerably better protection against component wear, easier cold starting, less high temperature evaporation and longer guaranteed drain intervals. Moreover, at Preferred Customer pricing, you'll pay roughly the same price for AMSOIL (including shipping) than you'll pay for Mobil 1 EP at your local auto part store.

So, let's see ... similar pricing, enhanced protection against wear, easier cold starts, less evaporation, longer drain intervals. Boy, that's a tough one ... I'll have to think about that for a little while. I think I'd like the Mobil 1 ---- Yeah Right!!!

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to bash Mobil 1. Many people use it and swear by it. It's a good product. But, it's also a commodity product. Only so much quality can be built into a product that has to sell "off the shelf" next to lesser priced synthetics - especially when so much money is also being funneled into big name NASCAR sponsorships and ad campaigns. Go with the best. Choose AMSOIL!

Why AMSOIL & Not Pennzoil, Valvoline, Mobil 1...?

First off, even though there are a considerable number of decent oils on store shelves these days, there are those companies whose integrity should be looked upon as tainted at best. Specifically, when companies such as Valvoline and Quaker State (Quaker State is the manufacturer of Slick 50 Engine Treatment) utilize such deceptive advertising in regards to their oil additive products, how much weight can you put on advertisements for their motor oils?

Of course, using a brand that is well known and that you can get down at Jimmy's Auto Parts brings with it a certain amount of familiarity and trust. These oils are ones that people have been buying for years. Our daddies and grand-daddies have used them for years. Why switch? If it aint broke don't fix it, right?

Well, I guess it all depends upon your idea of "broke". For years people washed their clothes in the river on a wash board. Then, someone invents the washing machine. Why switch? That wash board has been doing the job pretty well for years. Your parents used it, your grandparents used it. It's been in the family for decades and has served you well. Is it really worth switching?

I say it is, and I also say that the comparison between AMSOIL and other oils is very similar to the comparison between that washing machine and a wash board. The wash board will do an acceptable job of washing clothes, but it can in no way compare with the clothes washing ability of the modern washing machine.

AMSOIL offers the absolute BEST protection for your vehicles and equipment.
