Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy

Posted by: brentalan

Have you guys seen this new Mobil 1 "Advanced Fuel Economy" synthetic oil? The Fuel Economy claims are being made as they are recommending a 0W-20 oil in place of a 5W-20 that Ford recommends. I doubt there would be much improvement, but I was thinking of trying it in my car. I looked at a bottle of it in Wal-Mart, it said that it can be safely used in a car that calls for 5W-20. " It is specifically designed for applications requiring an SAE 5W-20 oil such as most Fords, Hondas and 2005 Chryslers." Is that true, or just marketing? What do you think?

This is the Mobil 1 that's made of cracked hydros (made in USA) rather than the true synthetic made in (IINM) Germany. No complaints about the price though - 0W-30 from Wally-world for ~$1 more than 5W-30 Castrol Syntec Blend.
