Mobil's new line of Motor Oil will be hitting stores VERY VERY soon. You should already be able to buy the new line in Pep Boys and places like that.
The new line constist of
Mobil Clean 5000 (Conventional)
Mobil Clean 7500 (Synthetic Blend)
Mobil 1 (Synthetic)
Mobil 1 15000 Extended Performance (Synthetic)

The different numbers 5000, 7500 & 15000 are the miles of oil change intervils. Mobil is GAURENTEEING that you can go 15,000 inbetween oil changes (as long as you have no oil leaking problems or major engine problems) with the Mobil 1 Extended Performance Oil. The only way the Oil will last 15,000 is you will have to use a TOP of the line Oil Filter such as the Mobil 1 oil filter. The Mobil 1 oil filter part number for Scions xB/xA is M-103.

It's a shame that ExxonMobil is even more evil than other oil companies. I've refused to make any ExxonMobil purchases for the past two years due to their reversal of discrimination policies upon Exxon's merger with Mobil. Oh well.

Wow, that's news to me!

You have some links with detailed information? I'd really
like to read up on that!

LavaBox_v1

hotbox05

Whats the price on their oil filter for the xB?

indianenvasion

yeah to me it seems like its going to be like 40 bucks a qt :-( for the 15k

DJ_X_Trodinaire

i saw that on tv

LavaBox_v1

I don't have prices for you, because I am a distributor and can't give you my price. Check with your local auto supply store for price. The filter number is M-103 for xA/xB ... Ill find out the part number for the tC tomorrow (tuesday)

LavaBox_v1

The 15k oil will be very expensive BUT remember you are leaving it in for 15K ... thats about 5 oil changes with conventional oil

indianenvasion

Yeah\.. do you know if you have to get a diffrent filter if you get a diffrent oil?? ie 5k -filter 1 15k filter 3

xnevergiveinx

i remember reading somewhere that conventional motor oil can go up 12000 miles before it breaks down. i'd like to know what kind of oil they use in bmw's and mercedes, they go long intervals before they need the oil changed.
i'll stick with changing it every 5000

ckd

In my mercedes the first change is 10,000 and they use mobil 1 from the factory

Well, here's a rather conservative's site take on the issue: http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/default.aspx?oid=4153

Basically, Mobil had policies banning discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. They also gave health benefits to a person's domestic partner. When Exxon took them over, they rescinded the discrimination policy and gave no further partner benefits.

NYC's pension fund is even taking issues with this, as they are a large shareholder in ExxonMobil: http://www.comptroller.nyc.gov/press...04-05-036.shtm

I think Mobil does make good products, but I don't really like how Exxon's running the place.

You will need a high quality oil filter in order for it to last 15,000 miles. Mobil reccommends using their Mobil 1 Oil Filter for this change. Your basic cheap oil filters with break down after about 3-4k. The paper inside the filer will collapse and the filter will not filter anymore. With the Mobil 1 filters they are made using a high quality stronger paper and will be able to last the 15,000 miles.

kacosta

il stick to every 5k and and oem filters thank you very much

sciontc_mich

so right now mobil has the regular 5w-30 oil.. is that drive clean or drive clean plus?

Petem

thanks for the info frosted.... thats not a very cool stance to take on exxons part.. ill stick with my redline oil then.. its about twice as expensive then mobil 1 but when someone is doing something wrong.. you have to make a stand... i do the same with microsoft.. i really don;t touch their stuff...

anyways.. im planning to change to synth at 1000 miles.(when the car finally arrives.
i did that on my present car and at 235k miles has had NO leaks what so ever.. and unless scion will use synths witht eh free oil changes.. ill probably not take them up on it..

WeirdScionz

Actually, more like 3 oil changes (per Scion). An oil change every 3000 miles is a fiction made up by quick lube places and oil companies.

Right now Mobils conventional oil is Drive Clean. Its in a blue bottle. As soon as all the store sell out of the blue bottles (Drive Clean) it will all be switched over to Clean 5000. Once all the store sell out of Drive Clean Plus (Synthetic Blend) It will all be switched to Clean 7500.

Im telling anyone how to take care of your car, I am just informing you on what is out and what you are able to do if you chose.

My old Honda had 45K on it when I sold it ... I did 4 oil changes. First one with Mobil 1 Synthetic at 2,000 and then every 10,000 miles give or take with Mobil 1 Oil and Mobile 1 Oil filter. I have NO problems and the car ran GREAT!
My dad has an LX470 and he changes his oil every 15,000 using Mobil 1 Synthetic and Mobil 1 Oil Filter. Runs GREAT NO Problems. The truck has 80,000 miles on it.
