They do not break down at 5,000 miles, you didn't read the page I posted. The oil was analyzed EVERY 1,000 additional miles and the results provided on the page. If you need specifics on a certain element I will pull the reports.

I would love to pull them and will even scan them if you have a specific additive you are looking for.

There is NO considerable change between 5,000 and 10,000 according to Blackstone Labs The only thing that deteriorates is additional metals which can be taken care of with a filter change at 5K miles.

zerostar, can you look up Castrol TWS Motorsport 10W-60 Synthetic?

I was just wondering how the results for the Castrol came out.

Thanks.

I personally haven't done anything with castrol, I will see what I can find.

Released Jan 10th 2005:

Mobil announced today several new extended drain interval oils with performance guarantees..
Mobil Clean 5000 (5,000 mile ODI or 6 months), Mobil Clean 7500 (7,500 miles ODI or 6 months)and Mobil 1 Extended performance (15,000 mile ODI or 1 year, guaranteed)..
However, for automobiles still under manufacturer's warranty, OEM recommended drain intervals prevail....... Availability in coming weeks...

Some additional information regarding the new Mobil 1 Extended performance (15,000 miles or 1 year ODI). Additional additization: 36% more antiwear additives than regular Mobil 1: 37% more detergency than regular Mobil 1 and 50% more SuperSyn than regular Mobil 1..... And that special filters are not required.
Mobil 1 extended Performance oil will be available in 5W-30, 10W-30, 10-40 and 15W-40 viscosity grades in 6 one quart cases.

Regarding formulations for the new Mobil extended drain interval oils. Yes, the new oils are completely new formulations with significantly increased additization to enable the ODI extensions. This is not marketing hype.
In the case of the Mobil 1 15,000 mile oil, it is closer to Mobil 1R formulation, utilizing the new base oil component formulation along with significantly increased detergency and anti-wear.
These are definitely *NOT* re-badged current products..
Obviously I will be posting VOA's for the products as I get them in..
The only caveats with respect to the ODI's and "guarantee" are the usual "severe use, etc.." and New vehicles under warranty, must do mfg. recommended ODI's. For the everyday driver, these are for real performance parameters backed by Mobil Oil.. And yes, quite a stand to take but it is wonderful to see a major oil company take such a position; i.e. we guarantee our oil will provide optimum lubrication for X miles... In this day/age, quite something...

Obviously, EM would be putting their reputation at risk if these product didn't do the job. That would be a far greater risk to them, so I would have no doubt that they are certain that these products will work as described.

I have officially dumped my amsol tests now and am preparing 2 cars for this test.

so i drove the car back from where i was, and all was incident free. no stall, or hesitation. I allowed the car to idle in park for 5 or so minutes while my gf picked up our take out and the car was fine. I also filled the tank. all seems to be well, so i'll let it sit for the nite and drive it tomorrow.
