What's NEW that's comming from Mobil 1????
Anyone visit Mobil1.com lately? They have a flash intro that says something NEW is comming April 15th. What is it? Could it be an advanced synthetic Mobil 1? Or maybe they are finally releasing a 5W-20 to Ford specs? Check it out at:

Mobil 1
I found this very interesting, so i went to the website watching the flash intro and saw what looked like some new bottle or such. I watched the movie again and then i moved it frame by frame. I took a screenshot using PRNT screen and it looks like they have a new mobil 1 5-30W SUPER SYN assuming that means super synthetic. The top picture is untouched, the bottom picture has been edited just to show you exactly what has changed.
This is the original image.
This is the second image, i mearly cut out the bottle and used the burn tool and saturation tool on photoshop to eliminate the fog over the image. This was only done to make it appear clearer.

Hey Guys,
I print screened the INTRO and figured out what it
says...
At the top of the bottle it says...
NEW SuperSYN
Anti-Wear Techonology
5W-30
Newer Vehicle
Formula
I think it's just a new Bottle...They claim to already have Anti wear tech and you can put
it in a Newer Vehicle...
Marketing....

MOBIL 1 OIL ADDING MORE VISCOSITIES & NEW INGREDIENTS
By Larry Carley (3/1/02)
Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil, which has been around for more than 25 years, is changing its formula and viscosity ratings to reflect the latest changes in automotive technology. Starting in February 2002, Mobil 1 has been reformulated with a new secret ingredient called "SuperSyn" which Mobil says will improve the oil's anti-wear and anti-friction qualities even more. Mobil won't say exactly what SuperSyn is, but only that it is a special hydrocarbon molecule that takes synthetic oil technology to a new level of performance -- which will also be reflected in a price increase for Mobil 1.
The average shelf price today for Mobil 1 and other synthetic oils is usually $3.79 to $3.99 per quart. The reformulated Mobil 1 will probably sell for $4.79 to $4.99 per quart.
The new ingredient gives Mobil 1 a slightly darker color than before, which improves visibility when reading a dipstick. The new additive also allows Mobil 1 to pass a much wider battery of industry oil standards, including ILSAC GF-3, American Petroleum Institute's SL/SH/CF specifications, European ACEA standards and Japanese valvetrain requirements. The oil is approved for use in virtually all gasoline and light duty diesel engines, and is used as the factory-fill oil for Porsche, Mercedes Benz AMG vehicles, Aston Martin, Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang R Cobra and Dodge Viper.
Mobil 1 will also be available in 5 different viscosity grades:
* 5W-30 -- For newer vehicles
* 10W-30 -- For older or high mileage vehicles
* 15W-30 -- For performance, hard use applications (excellent for turbocharged & supercharged engines, muscle cars, off-road trucks, etc.)
* 0W-30 -- For improved fuel economy & cold weather starting
*0W-40 -- For new European cars (meets Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and BMW requirements).
SYNTHETIC MARKET GROWING
According to ExxonMobil market research, synthetic motor oils now account for 14% of all retail motor oil sales. Of this, Mobil 1 has a 63% share of the market.
Synthetic motor oils have numerous advantages over conventional motor oils, such as greatly improved high and low temperature performance, greater resistance to oxidation and viscosity break-down, and potentially longer service life.
Though ExxonMobil has taken a conservative approach and says the oil should be changed at the interval recommended by the vehicle manufacturer (typically 3,000 miles/3 months up to 7,500 miles or more/12 months depending on the type of driving), a company engineer also said that if the OEMs went to a once a year 10,000 miles change interval, Mobil 1 would have no trouble meeting the standard. The oil is so stable that it shows little deterioration with extended drain intervals.

Went to Wal-Mart last night and they already have some of these new oils on the shelf. I buy the 5 qt containers, cheaper per qt cost, but they don't have the new oils in these yet. I just started using Mobil 1 and hope to be able to go 9000 miles per change w/3000 mile filter changes. I may test the oil a couple times for my comfort.
