Mobil 1™ Advanced Full Synthetic SAE 5W-20 Motor Oil
Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic SAE 5W-20 is a full synthetic motor oil formulated to support engine protection, cleanliness, and performance in modern gasoline-powered vehicles. It uses Mobil 1’s Triple Action Formula to help control friction, oxidation, sludge, and deposits while maintaining viscosity throughout normal service.
Mobil 1 5W-20 is recommended for applicable high-performance turbocharged, supercharged, multi-valve, and fuel-injected gasoline engines. Applications include passenger cars, SUVs, light vans, and light trucks where SAE 5W-20 and the applicable performance standard or builder recommendation are specified.
The formulation meets current API SQ Resource Conserving and ILSAC GF-7A requirements. It is also recommended for several Ford and General Motors applications and meets or exceeds Chrysler MS-6395 and Ford WSS-M2C970-A1.
