ok so i saw a thread that said not to use the Advanced or Extended performance mobil one fully synthetic oil and that it said not to use it with turbochaged cars ont he back of th botte.
i have a bottle in my hand and it doesnt say that anywhere.
also, i called the number on the back and he says its ok, im just double checking, is it ok or not?
the bottle says "advanced supersyn system" and "extended performance" and "guaranteed protection for 15000 miles"
thanks!

 

If you have any doubts, don't use it. You should change your oil every 3k miles anyways. Just my 2 cents.

 

well the thing is, its already in my car, and has been for maybe 1000 miles. but i saw the thread that said his engine blew under extremely normal cicumstances and a few people say not to use it, i think a couple said that its perfectly fine

 

If you read through that thread the engine was most likely running lean. The oil was not what caused the problem. If it makes you feel better just change it out with something else. IMO that oil is fine. It probably is not recommended for turbochargers because it will not last 15000 miles in our engines. They just say that to cover their a$$es.

 

im still gonna change at 3000 or so, im just wondering if it is ok for now

 

Its probably fine, but if it makes you feel better, it is not that big of a deal to just change it out just in case. Did you put that oil in there, or did an oil change shop?

 

how does a oil make your car run lean?

those things are samething as synthetic oil but with little more additive in it.

The normal synthetic oil could go as far as 7500 miles.

 

Oil does not make your car run lean... I was referencing the thread about the engine that blew. The word you added was could. I would definitely never wait over 3000 miles to change my oil. Oil gets dirty and breaks down. Just because some are created to not break down as fast does not mean that it will be less dirty over time. For your cars sake please change your oil every 3k.

 

There is nothing wrong with that oil. Stop worrying.

 

Factory fill Mobil 1 I believe is perfect for the EVO.
From my experience with it in the past, it is made from a really good base, and has a good additive package for newer motors, if you keep running with it from the purchase of your auto.
With that said, it tends to brown much quicker than other oils, but remains carmel color for a long time (personal indicator of good oil). When it goes smelly (gas smell from running rich) or pitch black, then its time to change it.
As with a lot of oils, I believe you can change your oil 'too' often. A fresh additive package that hasn't been heat cycled through your motor I think does more harm than good. That's conjecture, but it comes under the assumption of if "its not broken, don't fix it." Typically based off color and smell, I get about 4k to 5k out of a Mobil 1 fill.
If I were to add something for better oil and lubrication in general, I'd go for an accusump.

I don't use oil in my Evo

 

Are we smarter than Mitsu? for god sake use what the factory recommends period...

10W30 thats it..

By the way extended performance is not for racing and not for turbos on the back

damnit people, use factory oil, do you think you'll notice any difference if you use different oil? if you do then you should have your head examined.

do yourself a favor and use factory recommended oil for your stock engine internals

 

This may be off topic, but...how much oil do you guys put into your engines, I have mine at a little below the maximum point

 

anything between those triangle wedge, it's good.

I usually tap it all the way to the top line, because I lose some oil auto-xing or burn them, i don't know.
