AMSOIL Synthetics vs. Mobil 1 Extended Performance

Ok, the numbers are in. Mobil 1 STILL can't measure up to AMSOIL (even with their new EP product). In testing done August of 2005 in opposition to 10 brand name petroleum and synthetic oils, AMSOIL came out the clear powerhouse, even over the new and "amaaaaazing" Mobil 1 EP synthetic oil. You can see the specifics 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 a motor oil, AMSOIL passed the 500 minute cut-off mark with no problem at all, while Mobil 1 Extended Performance came up short 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 certainly have continued longer. Nevertheless, since the test parameters limit the test run time to 500 minutes, we were cut short of determining just exactly how far the AMSOIL synthetic oil could really go.

Either way, it is of minor consequence. AMSOIL offers far better protection against wear, better cold temperature performance, 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 off the shelf.

How Does Mobil Respond?

Well, to be quite frank, they don't. Search for yourself. Search Google. Search the Mobil website. The closest I could find to an official response to AMSOIL's claims was an "Ask Mobil" page on their website. See the following link to see what Mobil said:

Guaranteed Drain Intervals?

Well, if you're using Mobil 1 EP, the answer is not as clear cut as you might think. If you're looking to use Mobil 1 EP for the full 15,000 mile/1 year "guaranteed" drain interval, you may want to take a look at the fine print. Mobil is explicitly clear that their Mobil 1 EP mileage guarantee ONLY covers vehicles that are outside of the vehicle manufacturer's warranty period. Otherwise, if you're still covered by your vehicle warranty, don't expect Mobil to have your back if you choose to extend oil drains with their oil. Not gonna happen. AMSOIL, on the other hand, offers a completely guaranteed 25,000 mile/1 year drain interval that covers you REGARDLESS of whether your vehicle is still under warranty or not. With AMSOIL, you're getting the highest quality oil AND a top-notch guarantee.

Which Will YOU Choose?

So, let's see ... about the same cost, enhanced wear protection, 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'll take the Mobil 1 ----------------- not!!!

Listen, I've got nothing against Mobil 1. It's an excellent synthetic oil - especially the new Extended Performance Product. But, if you're going to pay that kind of money for a product (Mobil 1 is typically more expensive than most other "at your local auto part store" brands), why not get the best your money can buy? You'll never go wrong choosing AMSOIL, and we've got the test results to prove it.

Why Wouldn't I Choose a Name Brand Oil Over AMSOIL?

First off, although there are a number of good oils on the market today, there are more than a few companies whose integrity should be looked upon as a bit questionable. 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, choosing an established brand name oil that you can get at your local auto part store brings with it a certain amount of familiarity and trust. These oils have been around 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 viewpoint. For years people washed their shirts and pants in the river on a wash board. Then, some "lazy" individual 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 much like the comparison between that washing machine and a wash board. The wash board will do an decent 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.
