Is Mobil Super 1000 a Full Synthetic Oil?
2 Answers
Mobil lubricants are composed of Mobil industrial lubricants and Mobil automotive lubricants. Oil selection: Naturally aspirated engines have relatively general requirements for oil quality and can use mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil. If the owner has a larger budget, full synthetic oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate in harsher conditions, requiring higher-performance oil with better fluidity. Full synthetic oil is recommended. Brand selection: For choosing a lubricant brand, if you prioritize long-lasting oil performance, Mobil lubricants are a good choice; if you value the oil's engine cleaning capability, Shell oil is recommended; if you need lubricants with strong oil film toughness, Castrol can be selected. For example, turbocharged engines are prone to carbon deposits during high-speed operation, so Shell oil with strong cleaning capabilities can be chosen.
I've been driving for almost ten years and have some knowledge about engine oil. Mobil Super 1000 is definitely not a full synthetic oil; it's based on mineral oil, which is cheaper and suitable for older cars or daily commuting. Synthetic oil provides better engine protection and superior lubrication, but Super 1000 can still last a few thousand kilometers under normal conditions—just needs more frequent changes. If you drive a new car or frequently hit the highway, I'd recommend Mobil 1 full synthetic. Overall, choosing engine oil depends on your driving scenario—don't skimp and risk damaging your engine. Regular maintenance is key, and consulting a mechanic is always wise.
