MythBusters in the Mobil 1™ Edition

Do you know the show “MythBusters” that has been airing for many years on the Discovery channel? In this popular science program, the hosts tackle various myths, rumors, and superstitions, which they verify using scientific methods. A similar initiative has been prepared by ExxonMobil, which invited lubrication specialist Gareth Davis from EuroPerformance to debunk two myths regarding synthetic lubricants.

1: Using synthetic engine oils can lead to oil leaks. True or myth?

As Gareth responds, this is a myth because modern production of synthetic oil, including Mobil 1 oil, is based solely on unconventional, high-performance, chemical components.

2: Special additives in engine oils improve engine performance.

This is true. However, it is a myth that you should add them yourself. By purchasing a product like those from the Mobil 1 brand, you acquire the entire “package.” You know it contains the necessary detergents, anti-corrosive agents, and all other components that extend its durability and ensure the oil behaves appropriately in various temperatures. Mobil 1™ is not just one oil but a combination of several oils that merge at a molecular level, providing engine protection in both low and high temperatures.

Mobil 1™: carefully designed for performance

Mobil 1™ is the world’s leading brand of synthetic engine oils. Its mission is to help drivers worldwide maximize their vehicle’s capabilities by ensuring maximum performance and protection. Mobil 1 engine oils offer smoother rides, better engine efficiency, and less environmental impact. Even in extreme conditions.
