- Is 15W-50 the right oil for my car?
- Only if your owner's manual specifies 15W-50 or a similar thick grade. Most modern engines call for 0W-20 or 5W-30, and using 15W-50 there can hurt fuel economy and cold starts.
- How is this different from Mobil 1 5W-30?
- It is thicker at both cold and hot temperatures. That gives more film strength for older or hard-driven engines but flows more slowly on cold starts and uses more fuel.
- Can I use it in a motorcycle or air-cooled engine?
- Check the manual first. Some air-cooled and older engines accept 15W-50, but motorcycle oils often need different friction and clutch additives.
- How often should I change it?
- Follow the interval in your owner's manual. Full synthetic oil typically lasts longer than conventional oil, but severe driving, towing or track use calls for shorter intervals.
- What is in the box?
- Four 5-quart jugs of Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic 15W-50, enough for several oil changes on most cars.
- Where is the Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil 15W-50 5 Quart 4 Pack cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $127.88, as of our latest check.
