New Mobil1 at Wal-Mart
I did find the Mobil1 10W-30 "Higher Mileage Vehicle Formula" at Advance Auto Parts. Mobil claims its "100% synthetic" like Blue Oval said. It was the same price as all the other Mobil1 synthetics on the shelf.
I notice on the back label it says: "Engineered for higher-mileage cars and all light trucks. Mobil1 10W-30 is fully compatible with the seals in higher mileage cars."
That kind of statement seems directed at the issue of leaky seals. That to me would suggest that the new high mileage version might have a little bit different additive package than what the other Mobil1 oils contain. But I also have to say that I share a little bit of MrBSS's skeptism, as well. Could be the same stuff with a fancier name.
