They Say Nothing Outperforms Mobil 1? Wrong!
AMSOIL INC. set out
to examine the specifics of the overly broad “Nothing Outperforms...”
Mobil claim. AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil (ASL) and Mobil 1
SuperSyn 5W-30 Motor Oil were analyzed in five key bench tests measuring
motor oil performance: NOACK volatility, flash/fire point, pour
point, four ball wear and total base number (TBN). As shown in the
charts below, AMSOIL outperformed Mobil 1 in all five areas.
NOACK Volatility
The NOACK Volatility
Test determines the evaporation loss of lubricants in high-temperature
service. The more motor oils vaporize, the thicker and heavier they
become, contributing to poor circulation, reduced fuel economy,
increased oil consumption and excessive wear and emissions. A maximum
of 15 percent evaporation loss is allowable to meet the API SL and
ILSAC GF-3 specifications. As shown in the graph, AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic
Motor Oil lost an extremely low 4.9 percent of its original weight
during high-temperature service, maintaining its superior protective
and performance qualities,while Mobil 1 SuperSyn 5W-30 Motor Oil
lost 9.17 percent of its original weight.
Four Ball Wear
The Four
Ball Wear Test determines the wear protection properties of a lubricant
by measuring the wear scars produced by four metal balls in sliding
contact under the test parameters. The smaller the average wear
scar, the better the wear protection provided by the lubricant.
As shown in the graph, AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil completed
the Four Ball Wear Test producing a smaller wear scar than the Mobil
1 SuperSyn 5W-30 Motor Oil.
Flash/Fire Point
The Flash/Fire
Point Test determines the lowest temperatures at which application
of a flame will cause lubricant vapors to ignite (flash point) and
sustain burning for five seconds (fire point). Lubricants with higher
flash and fire points exhibit more stable volatility characteristics
and are safer to use and transport. As shown in the graph, AMSOIL
5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil has higher flash and fire points than
does Mobil 1 SuperSyn 5W-30 Motor Oil.
Pour Point
The Pour
Point Test determines the lowest temperature at which a lubricant
flows.The lower a lubricant’s pour point,the better protection it
provides in low-temperature service.As shown in the graph, AMSOIL
5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil has a lower pour point than Mobil 1 SuperSyn
5W-30 Motor Oil.
Total Base Number
Total Base
Number (TBN) is the measurement of a lubricant’s reserve alkalinity.
The higher a motor oil’s TBN, the more effective it is in handling
contaminants and reducing the corrosive effects of acids for an
extended period of time. As shown in the graph, AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic
Motor Oil has a higher TBN than Mobil 1 SuperSyn 5W-30 Motor Oil.
Mobil will not recommend or guarantee 25,000 mile/1-year
drain intervals like AMSOIL 5W-30, 10W-30 or 10W-40 or 35,000 mile/1-year
drain intervals like AMSOIL 0W-30 Severe Service Synthetic does
and that is a fact. No-where on the Mobil bottle does it state 25,000
miles/1-year or 35,000 miles/1-year.
Mobil 1 has run the tag line for their advertising stating "nothing
outperforms Mobil 1". Mobil makes a good oil, but I'm here to tell
you that it does not outperform Amsoil Synthetic Oils. They can
come out with all the catchy advertising buzz words to market their
oils, but in the final analysis, buzz words don't add one thing
to their product's performance. The only reason Amsoil has continued
to grow and prosper competing with large corporations like Mobil
is that AMSOIL products have consistently performed better.
Here's a special excerpt from A.J. Amaturio, President of AMSOIL,
as written in the monthly AMSOIL Action News magazine to all AMSOIL
Dealers regarding AMSOIL and Mobil 1:
"As most of you are aware. Mobil 1 was introduced after AMSOIL had
paved the way for synthetic motor oils back in the '70's. When it
was introduced it cased great concern among many of our Dealers.
But in my Presidents Message at the time, I assured everyone that
having Mobil 1 on the market would only help us sell more oil. Mobil
confirmed everything we had been saying about synthetic oils, and
our products and claims instantly became more credible.
Since then, we have always been compared to Mobil 1. When people
think of synthetic motor oil, they think of Amsoil and Mobil 1,
not the other Johnny-come-lately's that have come on the market
more recently. I have always said that Mobil 1 is a good motor oil,
because compared to the run-of-the-mill motor oils on the market,
it is. I have also always said that AMSOIL motor oil is better,
again, because it is. Mobil makes their oils to run at normal drain
intervals while we make ours for extended drain intervals, and therein
lies the difference. Their oils don't have to be as good as ours,
so they are not.
To prove that point, we ran a number of comparative tests on our
5W-30 and Mobil 1 SuperSyn 5W-30. The test results are published
in this Action News, and they confirm what I have been saying all
along. AMSOIL makes a better motor oil.
These test results show significant differences between the oils.
Look at the results of the NOACK Volatility Test. Which synthetic
oil is going to last longer in service? Look at the difference in
Total Base Numbers. Again, which oil is going to provide the longest
lasting protection? Look at the Four Ball Wear Test. Which oil will
protect against engine wear better? In every category we tested,
Amsoil proved superior. Lower pour point, higher flash and fire
points, AMSOIL tested best.
So when I hear claims that nothing outperforms Mobil 1, I have to
say "wrong!". They may have good slogans and marketing hype, but
when it comes to superior performance, I
say nothing beats AMSOIL!"
AMSOIL
is the undisputed leader in synthetics.............
Since 1972, AMSOIL Synthetics have proven to be the
BEST. AMSOIL also engineers and manufactures Super Duty Oil filters which have a
12,500 mile service life as well as specialized filtration systems for
commercial and fleet applications in cars and light, medium and heavy trucks
which can filter particles down to less than one micron ( a standard full flow
oil filter can only filter to 20-25 microns with any degree of efficiency) making oil changes virtually unnecessary and virtually eliminating engine wear.
These filters have been proven by millions of miles of over-the road trucks,
construction equipment and fleet service.
