Mobil 1 is engineered to perform and protect engines under some of the most extreme conditions. The product line includes a variety of viscosities and formulations, catering to a broad range of vehicle types and operating conditions.

History[edit | edit source]

The development of Mobil 1 began in the early 1970s as engineers sought to create oils that could provide superior engine protection and performance compared to conventional mineral oils. In 1974, Mobil 1 was launched as one of the first fully synthetic motor oils on the market. Its introduction marked a significant advancement in lubrication technology, offering benefits such as enhanced engine cleanliness, longer oil life, and improved fuel efficiency.
