FAQs

How often should I change the oil if I'm using Mobil 1™?

Oil change intervals can be as short as 3,000 miles or as long as 20,000 miles on some new cars. We recommend that you follow the oil and filter change frequencies shown in your owner's manual, especially during the warranty period. With the high‐performance reserves of Mobil 1, you can have the confidence to go the full mileage or time frame recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Mobil 1 is especially suitable for the latest vehicles with extended drain intervals or vehicles with oil monitoring systems that vary oil drain intervals. To fulfill the requirements of the Mobil 1 limited warranty, Mobil 1 motor oil must be changed at least every 10,000 miles or your vehicle’s OEM recommended oil change interval, whichever is longer.

Will the use of Mobil 1™ void my new car warranty?

With the exception of the Mazda rotary engine (Mazda does not recommend any synthetic oils), Mobil 1 will not void new‐car warranties where an American Petroleum Institute (API) certified oil is recommended. Mobil 1 meets or exceeds API and International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) motor oil service requirements of all new‐car manufacturers, both import and domestic. If in doubt, always check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Joel826 from Best engine oil made I’ve been using Mobil 1 0W-40 in all of my cars. I had a 2004 Toyota Sienna that I used This oil since 2007. Last year, I sold the van with 190,000 miles on it. The new owner took it to his mechanic who said the engine was like new. I believe it, because it always started easily in frosty weather and the engine was always smooth. I’m now using this oil in my 2016 Sienna.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shawn from excellent oil i have a BMW that has a v8 known for oil cosumption. It keeps the leaks in check.Even though it calls for 5w-30 i use this instead. For the price, you cannot beat it. In my opinion, its right on par with LiquiMoly at half the price

Rated 5 out of 5 by CazS. from 300,000+ miles and going I purchased my Jetta new in 2011. I change my oil every 10,000 regularly using only Mobil 1, 0W-40 and I am at 310,000 miles without any issues with my engine in all that time. I plan on going to 400,000+ miles. If I ever buy and new car I will definitely use Mobil 1 for that one as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by C7EddieH from This oil is the best, PERIOD !! New Corvette owner and I am very pleased that GM continues their partnership with Mobil 1 by using this great product as a factory fill. Nothing runs smoother, cleaner, quieter and offers more long term protection than Mobil 1. I will continue to use this product for the life of the car. I am also happy to see Mobil 1 as a sponsor of the new Corvette C8R race car that will debut in January at the 24 hours of Daytona.. Thank you for making such a great product

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lu811 from Perfect performing oil I have been using this oil for 6 years in 5k mile intervals and it’s been amazing. The weight is perfect for Florida weather but also performs really great in the cold. I’ve worked in a dealership with 5 European brands all of which use 0W-40 for specific cars. Highly recommend the product to anyone looking to use it on their own car.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PorschePilot from Been using Mobil1 since introduced I’ve been using Mobil1 since introduced. I first saw Mobil synthetic oil used in multi-million GE aircraft engines I was flying in the late ‘70s. When I saw an article about it in Popular Science I knew I could use it with confidence. I was picking up my new Lexus from service in 1990 at Lexus of Alexandria, VA and a fellow waiting with me in the service drive for his car asked me how I liked my car. I dished about only using Mobil1 in all my cars. Turns out he was the CEO of Mobile. Small world and great oil...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wicrick from VW/Audi Approved Oil I have used Mobil 1 FS 0-40W in all of my VW’s and Audi’s and can tell you this is simply the best choice for your Synthetic Oil needs. My VW had over 200,000 miles on it before the timing belt gave out and my two Audi’s have 125,000 and 165,000 with no problems. I have tried Penzoil and I have had to add a quart before I reached my 3,000 interval but not with Mobil 1 as my oil stays full. Great product that’s compliant with VW/Audi engines and wouldn’t use any other Synthetic Oil.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SaabStory from Amazing I recently traded a 1990 Acura Integra with the same friend I bought it from, for his 2003 SAAB 9-3 ARC 2.0T 6 speed. When I got it every oil change I did was as black as night. I change my oil religiously every 3,000 miles. Since the first day I got it I started using this oil (factory recommended) and 20k miles later the oil has barely changed color when I go to change it. Currently at 195,400 miles on the odometer. I’m am very pleased to see that the oil is indeed cleaning the engine as well as providing excellent lubrication.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JayBro328i from BMW 3 Series I having been using Mobil 1 0W-40 in my car since I bought in 2011. I have done 10,000-mile interval oil changes and I just took my car into the dealership for the 135,000-mile checkup and they took it apart and I had no oil sludge anywhere to be found in my car. I love my car and I want to keep it FOREVER. With using Mobil 1 I trust and believe in their product and I will only use it in my car and future cars. I tell all my friends who have German cars to use Mobil 1 0W-40. It is a product the worth every penny. I had the dealership take pictures of my car when they did my 135,000-mile service so I could Have Proof that this oil works. This oil is the only oil I will ever use, It is the best. The people at Mobil 1 know exactly what they are doing, this is the BEST OIL EVER.

Rated 5 out of 5 by thenightowl from Great oil analysis report for my Volvo S60 I bought a 2008 Volvo S60 in 2009 when the car had approximately 20,000 miles. I paid the dealership to do an oil change using M1 0W40 before taking delivery of the car and have had the oil changed using that same oil for every subsequent oil change. Most of those oil changes were approximately at the recommended 7500 mile interval. I had two oil analyses performed, one at 37500 mile service, another at 45,000 service. Both times the oil analysis indicated that the oil was holding up great with metals well within normal ranges and the Total Base Number (TBN) 3.5 or higher (oil is considered worn out when the TBN is 1.0 or less). The most recent oil sample was collected during the 120,000 mile service when the oil had been in use 8205 miles. Once again, the M1 0W40 came through with flying colors. The wear metals all displayed levels indicating a very high level of protection, the TBN was 3.50, again well above the 1.0 threshold when oil is considered to be worn out. The lab went out of their way to note that the oil report was consistent with an engine that remains in excellent condition. I've received great service from Mobil 1 in this car and recommend it highly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by happyvw from Immediate increase in fuel savings Was using CAM2 5w40, but it's performance was average, but better than the Castrol 5w40 in some respects - the CAM2 didn't get black as fast and didn't burn-off as quick as the Castrol. I evacuated all old oil and added the Mobil 1 0w40. The car started smoother, felt more responsive and mpg gauge was incredible! I was getting very good mileage - much higher mpg than what I was getting after a fresh oil change with the other oils I was using.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ShadeTreeMechanic from Qualitative experience First time I used Mobil 1 on my 86' Porsche Carrera I was surprised to find that the oil pressure settled down into its fully warmed proper range within 60 seconds of starting the engine from cold in cold winter. This was something that took ten or more min. with my previous oil fill. Seeing that most engine wear happens when oil is cold before it warms into its normal range of viscosity and the Mobil 1 oil moves into the proper range very quickly from cold I have continued to use it ever since in my cars. I know when it needs to be changed on my very hot running air cooled engines where the engines use little to no oil until about six or seven thousand miles on the oil change at which time it begins to consume a little oil. This prompts me to do an oil change under the theory that the oil's additive package is starting to not function when oil consumption increases.

Rated 5 out of 5 by fahrenheit123 from I run this in all my euros I feel that if this oil is good enough to be an OEM oil for Mercedes I can run it in my VWs. I have ran this oil in 5 of my Volkswagens (2 with over 200K), 3 Mercedes(1 with over 300K), 4 other cars that I maintain for friends and family and have always had good luck with this oil. I run 5K intervals on my turbocharged cars and 10K on my NA Mercedes and VWs and have never had issues in terms of engine wear or oil consumption.
