Mobil rates it for up to 10,000 miles between changes. Follow your owner's manual if it calls for a shorter interval.

Does it work in cold weather?

It is rated for low-temperature protection down to -30°F, so cold starts are easier than with conventional oil.

About the Mobil 1 (5-30) [1.00-gal./3.79-Liter. Jug x6] 104162

Mobil 1 advanced full-synthetic motor oil 5W-30 uses Mobil 1's Triple Action Formula to protect and clean the engine. Its specialty components reduce the friction that causes deposits and sludge buildup. This helps protect critical engine parts for up to 10,000 miles between oil changes.

The formula protects against internal engine heat up to 500 degrees F and against cold down to -30 degrees F, for quick cold-weather starting. It helps control oxidation to prevent oil breakdown and maintains viscosity. It meets ILSAC GF-6 standards, which help provide protection against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) and timing chain wear, keep the engine clean and help improve fuel economy.

ExxonMobil recommends it for modern cars, SUVs, light vans and light trucks. This includes vehicles with high-performance, turbocharged, supercharged, multi-valve or fuel-injected engines.
