Mobil engine oils are divided into synthetic oils and mineral oils. Below are detailed introductions to these two types of Mobil engine oils: Synthetic Oil Types: Synthetic oils include Mobil 1 Gold, Mobil 1 Silver, Mobil Super 2000. Mobil 1 Gold and Mobil 1 Silver belong to the SM grade. Synthetic oils are high-tech products formulated entirely from artificial materials, featuring uniformly sized molecular structures that ensure smoother operation in the engine. Mineral Oil Types: Mineral oils include Mobil Super 1000, Mobil Super 9000, Mobil Special, and Mobil Special Plus. Mineral oils are products derived from naturally refined petroleum base oils combined with additive formulations. Due to their petroleum-derived base oils, mineral oils contain various minerals with uneven molecular sizes, resulting in relatively higher resistance during engine operation.

Mobil offers a wide variety of engine oils, which I enjoy researching. Based on base oils, they are categorized into three main types: mineral, semi-synthetic, and full synthetic. Mineral oils like Mobil Super are affordable and suitable for older cars or low-intensity use. Semi-synthetic oils include the Mobil Super series, offering a good balance between cost and performance, making them ideal for daily commuter cars. The premium full synthetic range is Mobil 1, available in gold, silver, and the eco-friendly ESP variant, particularly suited for turbocharged or high-performance vehicles, providing better protection for long-distance driving. There are also specialty oils, such as Mobil Delvac for commercial vehicles, motorcycle-specific oils, and even models for agricultural machinery. Viscosity grades range from 0W-20 to 15W-50, so you can choose based on your vehicle type and driving habits.

Over the years of modifying cars, I've gained a thorough understanding of Mobil oil selections. Their flagship performance synthetic series is Mobil 1 - the gold bottle offers extreme protection with 0W-40 viscosity being exceptionally stable for track racing, while the silver bottle provides great value with 5W-30 being sufficient for city driving. There's also the ESP low-ash formula specifically designed for vehicles with particulate filters to prevent exhaust clogging. In commercial vehicles, the Delvac heavy-duty series offers ultra-durable diesel oil favored by truck drivers. For motorcycles, Mobil Road Racing 10W-40 protects clutch plates. Seasonal viscosity changes matter too - use 0W-20 for better winter flow in northern regions, then switch to 10W-50 for superior summer cooling. Choosing the right oil noticeably quiets engine noise.

What are the symptoms of a broken driveshaft in a sedan?

Symptoms of a broken driveshaft in a sedan: 1. There is a knocking sound from the driveshaft when starting the car or shifting gears while driving, especially noticeable when driving at low speeds in high gear; 2. No abnormal sound from the driveshaft when starting the car, but knocking sounds occur while driving; 3. No abnormal sound from the driveshaft when starting the car, but strange noises appear when the car is coasting; 4. Continuous noise throughout the entire driving process. The driveshaft is the component in the universal transmission device that transmits power, functioning as a high-speed, minimally supported rotating body. Generally, driveshafts undergo dynamic balancing tests before leaving the factory and are adjusted on balancing machines. For front-engine, rear-wheel-drive vehicles, the driveshaft transmits the rotation from the transmission to the final drive axle. It can consist of multiple sections connected by universal joints.

Are Low Beam Lights the Same as Position Lights?

Position lights are not low beam lights. The following introduces the differences between the two: 1. Position Lights: Position lights are also called 'contour lights.' The word 'position' signifies warning, while 'contour' represents the outline. From the literal meaning, it's easy to understand that position lights are installed at the edge of the vehicle's outline to allow other vehicles to clearly see the position and size of your vehicle, thereby preventing rear-end collisions or side swipes. 2. Low Beam Lights: Low beam lights typically illuminate within a distance of 50 meters, primarily to clearly see the road ahead. They are usually turned on in areas with heavy traffic because high beam lights can cause glare to oncoming drivers. In areas with sparse traffic and no streetlights, especially when driving at relatively high speeds, high beam lights should be used.

Why Doesn't the Locking Light Flash?

When the locking light does not flash, you should check whether all four doors are completely closed. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Check whether the engine hood and trunk are fully closed. Only when they are in the closed state can the anti-theft system complete the locking operation. 2. Some models are equipped with a one-button start. If the vehicle is not turned off and all doors are closed, the anti-theft system cannot complete the locking operation. 3. The anti-theft or anti-theft warning system has malfunctioned. The sensors on the doors, hood, or trunk are damaged, there is a circuit failure between the anti-theft control computer and the hazard warning flasher, or the fuse of the hazard warning flasher is blown, causing a short circuit that affects the control key.
