Fully Synthetic Motor Oil Used by Professional Racing Teams Now Available to Car Enthusiasts

FAIRFAX, Virginia (November 4, 2003) - High-performance automotive enthusiasts will soon be able to get the same boost and protection that professional race car drivers get thanks to the introduction by ExxonMobil of its new proprietary racing oil -- Mobil 1® Racing 0W-30. The new formulation will be available to the public in early Spring 2004.

Previously available only to professional racing teams, the Mobil 1 Racing formula combines the best of Mobil 1's patented SuperSyn™ technology with boosted levels of anti-wear additives, giving maximum protection and minimizing internal friction for exceptional power output. The specially designed high-performance motor oil is recommended for professional and amateur horsepower enthusiasts because it provides the performance drivers want from their high-powered engines every time they get behind the wheel.

"We developed Mobil 1 Racing for people who live to drive high-performance cars," said Tom Olszewski, technical services advisor at ExxonMobil Lubricants & Specialties. "Whether they put Mobil 1 Racing in their Honda Civic or Grand Prix GTP supercharged engine, drivers are going to notice a difference in how long their engine lasts and how well it performs under extreme driving conditions."

Professional racers have been enjoying the benefits of Mobil 1 Racing for years and right now 74 percent of NASCAR drivers use Mobil 1 technology. Uniquely engineered to help deliver maximum horsepower in all engine types, Mobil 1 Racing minimizes engine drag and friction while delivering exceptional high-temperature protection.

Mobil 1 Racing 0W-30 also incorporates anti-wear technology to help protect supercharged, turbocharged and high-revving engines with outstanding shear stability and a robust additive package to extend engine life. Compared to conventional racing oils and higher-viscosity synthetic motor oils, Mobil 1 Racing provides faster flow to critical engine parts to provide the ultimate in performance.

I wonder if I can get my LM dealer to stock this stuff?

I personally wouldnt use racing oil. Usually, it's engineered for applications where the motor is torn down after every race. You really do need a different additive package for a regular car like ours.

I'm gonna stick with Motorcraft Blend until the Mobil1 0w20 comes down a little in price.

I used motorcraft synthetic blend 5w-20 and motorcraft filter changed at 2,500 miles, 5,000 miles and 7,500 miles. At 10,000 miles i switched to K&N oil filter and mobil 1 5w-30. Now at 13,000 miles and am doing oil change again with mobil 1 0-20 and K&N oil filter. Looking to see if the mobil 1 0-20 over the 5w-30 raises my mpg from 19.0 to above 20.0. Planing on changing again at 17k, 21k, 25k then every 5k miles.
