I have been curious about Mobil-1 oil...especially a specific type titled "Advanced Fuel Economy".


Has anyone tried this and seen results? Is this a good line of engine oil? What type and/or brands do you recommend and why?


Thanks!

Buy any oil that has an API SJ, SL, SM, or SN rating (look for the "donut" on the back of the package), really any should be fine. Conventional oil if you want 3000 mile OCI (Oil Change intervals), full synthetic for 5000-8000 mile OCIs.

I typically use Walmart SuperTech full synthetic and ~6000 mile OCIs. But, if I can find a cheaper full synthetic, I'll use that instead. Never had any oil related problems.
