Anyone using Mobil 1 Extended 15k oil yet?

I am using MB1 super syn at the moment but I will need to change the oil soon.

I was wondering if MB1 EP 15k oil is better than MB1 super syn as well...

Never heard of it. Is this supposed to be "improved" synthetic oil

Yup, it's Mobil's new "improved" oil. Mobil1 Extended Performance oil. Guaranteed to last 15k miles, they've been advertising this new oil day and night in print and TV....guess you haven't read any car mags in the past 5 month?

Changed mine over to 15-50. I have also changed the differential to M-1. I drove to the east coast in July and noticed a 2mpg increase on the highway. I am going to draw a sample when I get 7k on the oil to see how it is holding up. Wally World has a good price on it in the 5qt. container. They don't carry 1qt bottles yet.

Cheers,
Steve Urban
