Mobil rates it for up to 10,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. Follow your owner's manual if it specifies a shorter interval, especially for severe driving.

Is it suitable for turbocharged or diesel engines?

Yes. Mobil recommends it for modern turbocharged and supercharged gasoline and diesel engines, and it meets ILSAC GF-6 for low-speed pre-ignition protection.

What is the Eco Box container?

It is a bag-in-box package: a sealed bag inside a cardboard box. It pours without glugging and uses less plastic than a rigid jug.

Extended Performance is Mobil's longer-interval line, rated for up to 20,000 miles. This Advanced formula is rated for up to 10,000 miles and costs less.

Does it meet the spec my car needs?

Check your owner's manual for the required viscosity and specification. This is 5W-30 and meets ILSAC GF-6, but some European cars call for specific manufacturer approvals.

How should I open the box?

Cut carefully along the marked opening. A knife that goes too deep can puncture the inner bag and leak oil.

About the Mobil 1 Eco Box Advanced Full Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil

Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic 5W-30 is a motor oil made to protect engines and help extend engine life in vehicles of all ages. Its uniform synthetic oil molecules reduce friction, which helps prevent deposits and sludge buildup. It also helps control oxidation to prevent oil breakdown.

The formula protects against heat up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. It works in cold down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit to support quick cold-weather starting. It meets ILSAC GF-6 standards, which cover protection against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) and timing chain wear. It also helps keep the engine clean and helps improve fuel economy.

It is recommended for modern passenger cars, SUVs, light vans and light trucks. That includes high-performance, turbocharged and supercharged gasoline and diesel multi-valve fuel-injected engines. Protection lasts up to 1 year between oil changes, or the mileage limit, whichever comes first.
