Fully Synthetic Motor Oil Used by Professional Racing Teams Now
Available to Car Enthusiasts

High-performance automotive enthusiasts will soon be able to get the
same boost and protection that professional race car drivers get
thanks to the introduction by ExxonMobil of its new proprietary racing
oil -- Mobil 1(R) Racing 0W-30. The new formulation will be available
to the public in early Spring 2004.

Previously available only to professional racing teams, the Mobil 1
Racing formula combines the best of Mobil 1's patented SuperSyn(TM)
technology with boosted levels of anti-wear additives, giving maximum
protection and minimizing internal friction for exceptional power
output. The specially designed high-performance motor oil is
recommended for professional and amateur horsepower enthusiasts
because it provides the performance drivers want from their
high-powered engines every time they get behind the wheel.

"We developed Mobil 1 Racing for people who live to drive
high-performance cars," said Tom Olszewski, technical services advisor
at ExxonMobil Lubricants & Specialties. "Whether they put Mobil 1
Racing in their Honda Civic or Grand Prix GTP supercharged engine,
drivers are going to notice a difference in how long their engine
lasts and how well it performs under extreme driving conditions."

Professional racers have been enjoying the benefits of Mobil 1 Racing
for years and right now 74 percent of NASCAR drivers use Mobil 1
technology. Uniquely engineered to help deliver maximum horsepower in
all engine types, Mobil 1 Racing minimizes engine drag and friction
while delivering exceptional high-temperature protection.

Mobil 1 Racing 0W-30 also incorporates anti-wear technology to help
protect supercharged, turbocharged and high-revving engines with
outstanding shear stability and a robust additive package to extend
engine life. Compared to conventional racing oils and higher-viscosity
synthetic motor oils, Mobil 1 Racing provides faster flow to critical
engine parts to provide the ultimate in performance.
