Mobil1 Hybrid 0W-20 Oil

[2014FordFusionSE]

I decided to change the oil and filter myself.

I bought Mobil1 Hybrid 0W-20 oil and a Mobil1 Extended Performance M1-102A filter.

 

Anyone try this combination?

Any thoughts?

I did. I use the 0W20 mobil 1 (green bottle), and it works great. I've been using that oil on all my cars for decades, and swear it's the longest lasting oil, with, you never would have guessed it: Amazon Basics coming in at a close 2nd.

 

With oil prices being $1 more expensive per 5qt compared to other brands, I see no reason not to use Mobil 1 oil for the car.

 

Standard semi synthetic oil: 6k miles

Amazon basics 0W20: 6.6k miles

Mobil 1 0W20: 7k miles.

 

Nearly on all my vehicles, has Mobil 1 outlasted any other brand. And how do I measure it?

I know my car, and I feel when the oil starts wearing out over time. The engine starts vibrating on most cars, especially when the ac compressor turns on at idle, but on the fusion, I can tell from the vibrations coming through the accelerator, especially when going over 2k rpm.

 

I have 130k miles on mine, religiously changed oil every 6 to 7.5k miles, and my mechanic tells me the engine sounds as good as new.

 

One tip:

Buy a 12V oil pump, with a plastic nozzle that can enter the dip stick.

You can suck out between 4.5 to nearly 4.8 of the 5qt of oil, pump it in an old oil jug.

 

Your oil filter can last exactly 30k miles before the filter seals blow out, but I would recommend to change the oil filter once every 2 oil changes (~12-15k miles). Saves you money and time.

And if you forget, you can still do a third oil change on a filter (<24k miles), especially if under 100k miles just fine.

 

Amazon basics oil is a good lubricant oil. Mobil 1 has not only the best lubricant, but also the best additive package IMHO.

Thanks for the info.

 

I change oil once a year at approx 8k miles and I change the filter too.

There's almost no other maintenance on this car so I don't worry about spending the extra $

Yes coincidentally I just did this last fall and am quite happy with it.  I used Mobil 1 0w-20 extended life 20,000 mile high mileage engine oil with the Mobil 1 oil filter. I immediately noticed the engine ran quieter and smoother and the fuel economy has gone up.  I got a 54mpg tank this year.  This was my first time changing the oil on the hybrid.  I stupidly should have done it sooner because it was easy.  

 

Here's the thing. The oil that came out STANK.  It smelled terrible and was pitch black.  I fear the dealership never actually put fresh oil in my car when I had it changed around February 2023.  Did any of you guys noticing the OEM oil stinking to high heaven?  I changed both my cars at the same time and the older car's oil that had been in there for 2 years didn't stink at all.
