oil change
 
I hit up Auto Zone today to get oil for my jeep and noticed that Mobil one has mobile one full synthetic oil and mobile one super synthetic. Do you know the difference if any?

I know I could check Google but I was already here so I am asking you guys/gals.

I personally dont use Mobil 1 but figured I'd take a look into the differences myself just incase I ever consider it for an oil. this is what i came across and hope it can be of some help to you :tup:. Im sure theres a few oil gurus on here that can probably chime in and give some technical information.

Is it just me, or does Mobil's explanation seem contradictory and confusing? :icon14:

Thats exactly what i thought when i read it myself..it was a bit of a head scratching moment lol

Just buy regular mobil 1 in the 5 quart jugs for $25 at walmart.

Auto Zone charges to much money for Mobil 1

Looks like a politician wrote it because all I read is a bunch of sales bull shiat

My guess is the person that wrote that doesn't have a clue what the actual difference is either :confused:

Oil questions can all be answered over at Bob is the oil guy. There's guys there who know all.

Really, I understood it. Mobile Super Syn is best, Mobile 1 Syn is the bester.

Here's a chart to make it simple.

Honestly, we're over thinking this. It's oil for a Chrysler motor. It'll leak out before the next scheduled oil change. ;)

Go AMSOIL. Some of the best oil out there. Does it cost a little more, yes but protecting your money pit is very important.
