Mobil 1 Extended Life

A friend just told me about this new mobil oil that is garunteed for 15,000 miles. Does anyone use this? is it to good to be true? If you do use it, how often do you check to make sure your oil level is proper?


thanks in advance

 

I've never heard of it but I don't think I'd be comfortable leaving the same oil in for that long. 15K's worth of crap is a lot of crap in that oil. Not to mention condensation/moisture in the winter months. Oil's not that expensive, I'll change it AT THE MOST every 5K. Just my opinion.

 

If it is true i would still change my oil every 4to 5000 at least!

 

honestly...i think its all hype. and as far as im concerned...........i dont care how good an oil claims to be.,........i'll change mine every 5k miles.......peace of mind for me.

 

stick to the 4-5k mile change.
15k is way long. a year for some of us.

 

ok so obviously it is not widely used. thats what i was looking to see. thanks. here is the link if you want to check it out http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Oils/Mobil_1_Extended_Performance.aspx

 

im using it right now but i plan to change at 5000. i read some where that a guy ran it for over 10,000 but changed the oil filter at 5000mile intervals.

 

I am using it as well. I just put it in on my last change and I plan on changing it at 5k.
