Which Vehicles Are Suitable for Mobil Oil?
2 Answers
Mobil oil is generally suitable for most vehicles, but it is not recommended for large-displacement turbocharged cars. Mobil 1 is ideal for high-end vehicles, Mobil Super 2000 is suitable for mid-range cars, Mobil 1000 fits cars priced around 100,000 yuan, Mobil Delvac is designed for low-end vehicles, and Mobil Delvac Black is tailored for large trucks and buses. Below is an introduction to oil classifications: 1. Mineral Oil: Mineral oil is extracted from natural minerals. 2. Synthetic Oil: Synthetic oil is artificially formulated through chemical processes. 3. Semi-Synthetic Oil: Semi-synthetic oil is a blend of synthetic and mineral oils.
I've been driving for over a decade and have tried various engine oils. Mobil really does have wide compatibility. Their full synthetic series like Mobil 1 Gold comes in viscosity grades from 0W-20 to 5W-40, suitable for most Japanese, German and American cars. My old Accord has been running on 5W-30 for five years with consistently smooth engine sound. For older vehicles, their High Mileage formula helps prevent leaks. But for turbocharged cars, the ESP series is better with enhanced high-temperature protection - my friend's Golf GTI proved this effective. Remember not to fall for marketing gimmicks like 'luxury car exclusive'. Always check your owner's manual for manufacturer approvals first - mine clearly states API SP certified oils are acceptable.
