They weren't saying "Mobil 1 is best" they were saying "Synthetic Like Mobil 1 is best" compared to Semi Synth or Conventional. Pay more attention to the wording.

I live in -43F climate and my Amsoil does the job just fine

[o0Sp3cia1K0o]

I brought 2 jugs of mobil1 at the same time and they both have different pour point rating? one said -47 and -42. they are both synthetic formula...before I switch to amsoil, whats is your answer to that?

You sould compare mobil vs Valvoline synpower vs Royal purple vs Red line..

@slayerab sounds like you missing the point here dude, im from BC and i regularly get temps that cold.. theres more places you listed that get THAT cold, and pretty much everwhere in america goes to -1 or below atleast, the point here was, synthetic wont just protect you against -1, it will go all the way to minus 40, i like what they did here it shows its just not sub par, they went the whole nine yards. Just looking at that cold flow i know its good enough for my 944 s2.

have you ever tried to start a diesel engine at -35c... that doesn't have glow plugs? not so fun...

[gman2000]

Dunno why they tested a fully synthetic to a partially synthetic oil, however according to SAE viscosity rating system, should not matter what the oil is made up of, it should pour according to the # , so SAE 5W-30 is rated the same no matter what the exact motor oil makeup is. I use Mobile 1 in all my cars, but that VW had a hard time starting up, I wouldn't say it "Started with no problem" it took quite a few crankshaft turns if you ask me.

[dustinproffitt83]

Why did you compare your Mobil 1 fully synthetic oil to a semi synthetic?

[thesandman775]

@slayerab No, because that's the point of this video; to show how the oil performs in even the most extreme conditions likely to be experienced.

@slayerab ya I started my truck up today in -45c weather it hasnt got any warmer than -25C in a month dude

[SuperMustangDude]

I would recommend Mobile 1 to anybody. I bought a 1991 Cherokee, and wanted to switch to full synthetic when I did its first oil change. I ran Penzoil Platinum the first time, and burned oil like noones buisness. Next change, I used Mobile 1. Never have I had a start up issue or hardly any oil burning since Ive used it. I've changed my oil with Mobile 1 for over a year now, and will probably never stop.

So how many of you have to start your car up in -40 degree weather, much less in an environment where you are exposed to endured lengths of time where the weather is like that overnight? Wouldn't it be better to have a test with a more realistic temperature for those who don't live in Vermont, South Dakota or Alaska? Not trolling, just want to make you guys think.
