World’s Leading Synthetic Motor Oil Table of Contents

Forty years ago, researchers at ExxonMobil faced a daunting challenge from the U.S military

As planes returned to their aircraft carriers, cold in-flight temperatures froze the wheel-bearing grease in the landing gear, leading to bearing failure ExxonMobil devised a way of synthesizing grease that retained its lubricating characteristics over a wider range of temperatures than was possible with mineral-based grease

In the late 1960s, ExxonMobil developed synthetic engine oil that lubricated diesels powering oil rigs in Alaska at temperatures as low as -40°C

ExxonMobil discovered that the innovative synthetic oils delivered advantages in every engine aspect: long oil life, reduced fuel consumption and wear, quicker cold starts and cleaner, longer-lasting engines In 1974, Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil was born

The power of Mobil 1 technology gives you the most advanced engine protection in three ways:

• Keeps Your Engine Performing Like New

• Exceptional cleaning power for dirty engines

• Extreme temperature performance

What Does Motor Oil Actually Do?

Your engine is a complex machine with

hundreds of moving parts that operate

under a wide range of temperatures

and stresses The oil you select needs

to be equally capable of coping with

these operating conditions to protect

your engine against wear, corrosion,

and the build up of dirt and deposits

1 What does motor oil actually do in an engine?

Motor oil probably handles more tasks within

an engine than any other component, fluid

or material While most people know that motor oil’s main job is to protect the engine by lubricating its moving parts, modern motor oil also needs to:

• Cool critical engine parts by transferring heat away from them

• Seal and protect against wear that could

be caused by a variety of contaminants, from acidic combustion by products

to sludge and soot deposits

to dirt and dust particles

• Pump easily to critical engine parts at low temperatures

• Remain stable at high temperatures

• Help improve fuel economy

• Keep internal components clean and free from varnish and harmful deposits

2 What’s inside the oil that can help it accomplish all these tasks?

Since lubricating engine components – reducing friction for smoother running and optimal efficiency – is only part of what motor oil must do, it obviously must rely

on help That’s where the additives come in

All detergent-type motor oils contain detergent and dispersant additives that suspend contaminants and combustion by-products

That’s why your oil may look dirty when you check it – it’s doing its job And that’s also why you can’t tell when it’s time to change the oil simply by looking at its color

The oil is designed to prevent these corrosive contaminants from being deposited on engine surfaces, where they can cause piston rings

to stick and oil-pump screens to plug

The oil filter helps by removing abrasive particles as the oil passes through the filter

But an oil filter can’t catch fuel dilution and other liquid contaminants

No matter how good the oil and the oil filter, eventually they can no longer do their jobs effectively That’s because with time and mileage, the oil’s additives get used up – causing the oil to degrade (oxidize or thicken)

At that point, the oil must be changed, before sludge and deposits build up When the oil is drained, the contaminants are removed with it

Obviously, oil should be changed before its contamination level reaches the point where engine damage could result Yet it’s unlikely that the individual motorist will

be able to determine this critical point

For this reason, automobile manufacturers recommend oil changes at a specific time

or mileage interval, whichever comes first

3 My owner’s manual lists two different schedules How do I know if I should follow the “normal” or “severe service” schedule?

Many manufacturers list two types of “service” – normal and severe Normal (or “ideal”) service consists of relatively high-speed driving (55-105 kph) on paved roads in dust-free areas, with trips over 16 km each The owner’s manual uses this type of driving

to determine your car’s maximum time or mileage oil change recommendations

Severe service operations will require more frequent oil and filter changes Severe service can include any of the following:

• Trips of less than 16 km

• Driving in cold weather

• Idling for extended periods

• Stop-and-go traffic

• Pulling trailers/carrying heavy loads

• Driving in dusty conditions Short trips, especially during cold weather, can be particularly severe The engine may not get a chance to warm up sufficiently to boil off moisture and unburnt fuel in the oil, leading

to the developments of acids in the oil

Since the engine is partially cooled by airflow, temperatures can increase when the engine

is idling High temperatures can lead

to more rapid oil oxidation and thickening

Discover the

Mobil 1 Difference

What’s the Synthetic Difference?

Synthetics

Uniform molecules = less friction

Conventional

Inconsistent molecules size = more friction

Mobil 1 uses approximately 15 to 20 different components from around the world

to make each Mobil 1 product.

Mobil 1 is always formulated with high performance base stocks, designed to provide optimum low and high temperature protection in each viscosity grade Our advanced synthetic fluids are expertly combined to enhance high temperature cleanliness and anti-wear performance

Attribute of

Higher Viscosity Index Prevents oil becoming too thick

at low temperatures and too thin

at high temperatures Keeps oil flow at starting up Reduces oil burn-off

Due to the more consistent molecular structure of synthetics, there is less friction within the fluid

Resists breakdown and attack from oxygen molecules

Reduces engine wear, especially

at temperature extremes

Oil reaches critical engine parts more quickly to reduce engine wear Reduces oil consumption

and need for frequent top-off Leads to greater efficiency and lower oil temperatures

Slows down the rate of oil thickening and minimizes engine deposits and varnish

Low Temperature Performance Lower Volatility

Synthetic Fluid I Synthetic Fluid II Synthetic Fluid III Synthetic Fluid IV

Even after 200,000 km using extended oil change intervals (every 21,000 km), Mobil 1 exhibited excellent total base number retention, remaining several times above the minimum recommended limit

When using Mobil 1, oil consumption is extremely low over extended service, even at 21,000 km oil drain intervals

Very Low Oil Consumption

Engine Oil Durability

Engineered to Help Keep Your Engine Performing Like New

As piston rings and cylinder bores wear with use, more and more combustion gases pass into the

crankcase, which contaminates engine oil Mobil 1 minimizes these effects in several ways to keep

your engine performing like new As oil becomes more acidic due to contamination from combustion,

the engine builds up these acids, which degrades the oil and increases wear and tear on critical parts

Engineers use Total Base Number retention (TBN) to measure the ability of the oil to neutralize acidic

contamination Mobil 1’s robust engine oil chemistry neutralizes these harmful acids to protect critical

engine parts, enabling the vehicle to maintain its performance level for a longer period of time Engine

oil should retain its original viscosity as the kilometers accumulate While conventional oils may increase

in viscosity grade while in service, Mobil 1 demonstrates excellent viscosity control As engines wear,

iron can accumulate in the oil Mobil 1 provides superior protection versus conventional motor oil and

enhanced durability to minimize wear metal accumulation Iron particles should remain low indicating

good protection against engine wear

Proven to Keep Your Engine Performing Like New

Mobil 1 provides excellent control of oil consumption over extended distance

at 21,000 kilometer oil drain intervals

In a controlled research environment, engineers tested a Mercedes-Benz E350 engine with Mobil 1 0W-40 The engine demonstrated excellent oil consumption control, only 1 liter (approximately) for every 41,000 kilometers

“Formula One is an extremely rigorous test ground for the Mobil product

We’re seeing extremely high temperatures, high loads in the engine, and

of course the lubricants and fuels that support those processes have to

be the very best And that’s exactly what we strive to achieve with our

partner, ExxonMobil.”

– Ron Dennis, McLaren Group Chairman and CEO

Mobil 1 Motorsports

Formulated for Performance

When the Mercedes-Benz McLaren team wants to run its Formula One cars, it turns to ExxonMobil, which has been leading the field

in synthetic lubricants for over 30 years The reason that ExxonMobil is involved with the Mercedes-Benz McLaren team is, on the surface

at least, simple Formula One cars are among the most technically demanding vehicles on the planet, providing an advanced and exacting test bed to develop lube and fuel technology that we all use in our road cars every day In short, if any area of a Formula One car is not up to speed, it will soon be found out on the race track – while the eyes of the world bear witness

“Just from a pure research standpoint, we’re always looking to find ways of stressing the materials

we are making, Formula One provides us with that opportunity, because it’s a very tough environment, and the stresses that it places on our lubricants and fuels allow us to keep improving them The benefits of this are obvious, because it helps us to develop products that can cope with the unique tests that Formula One provides and then pass this technology, and their benefits, directly on to the consumer.”

– Bruce Crawley, Global Motorsport Technology Manager at ExxonMobil
