Is “High Mileage” Motor Oil Safe? Let’s find out! Mobil 1 vs Mobil 1 High Mileage; SuperTech vs STHM

Video Overview & Insights

Does high mileage oil stop oil leaks? Is it safe to use in your engine? Does it offer better or worse wear protection? Let’s find out by comparing Mobil 1’s full synthetic vs Mobil 1’s “high mileage” full synthetic and SuperTech's full synthetic vs SuperTech's “high mileage” full synthetic motor oil. I always purchase all of the products tested, and thank you for supporting the channel!

Here’s the list of products reviewed. More details in the video description. Thank you!

Should do another video to compare the same products now compared to how they performed about 3 years ago. I am mainly interested to see if super tech still has the same quality after raising the prices by almost $6 to the gallon

So my question is… why not use high mileage on a fresh car as well if it reduces wear?

Thank you for such a thorough review. I’ve been using super tech HM. might switch to mobile 1HM, but changing it every 5k seems to be the best

This is only my experience. I switched my 05 Colorado i5 3.5l to high mileage oil at 85,000 and I developed an intermittent lifter tick that is still present at 125k. Now this could’ve been a fluke but it would be awfully coincidental. Shrug. I’ve since switched back a Mobil 1 full syn and have flushed the engine numerous times and tried different weights to no avail.

Please test if small engine motor oil is really needed in small gas engines or can less expensive automobile oil work just as well

My local Auto Zone owner went to get my oil and filter and lucas oil treatment. I had told him I wanted Mobile One Synthetiic. He brought the Mobile 1 high milage. I said I wanted the full synthetic. He said this was it.
Anyway I didn't want to embarrass him in front of his employee so I bought what he brought.
Who knew, he was right. Thanks for straightening me out. I was wrong before I saw this.

When I'm looking at a product that is new to me I always check Project Farm first to see if it's there. Thanks PF!

I've used both and while the supertech is very similar when I use mobil one my oil stays full in between changes. With supertech I have to add a quart at about 30% oil life left

You are a national treasure
High mileage oil in my opinion is advertising bs

@SBain-l5n

How about wear testing when the oils are at 250* f like in a running engine ?

@hotrodray6802

Where high mileage oils really shine is conditioning your gaskets and seals.

Is there any chance you could test the best 75w140 gear oil?

I just measured the amount of motor oil in my box of Havoline ProDS Lifelong High Mileage Full Synthetic. The box says 6 quarts, but it contained 6.75 quarts. Another fellow (posted on Youtube) says his box of Havoline High Mileage Synthetic Blend contained 7 quarts.

Havoline is excellent oil for an excellent price at Walmart. The Lifelong is especially excellent. I just put Lifelong 5w30 in my Buick. In future I will be also put it in my mom's Prius and my neighbors' Honda CRV and Hyundai Elantra.

You can't trust the (inaccurate) measuring marks on the box. Pour it into a measuring container (such as an empty 5 quart oil jug of some other brand). Then you'll put the correct amount in your car and know how much Havoline oil you really got for your money.

Chevron (owner of Havoline) is generous with consumers and makes good oil, especially the Lifelong. Chevron is an American owned and operated company. Valvoline is Saudi owned. Pennzoil, Quaker State, and Castrol are owned by the British and/or Dutch. I don't know who owns Mobil.

Hi: I don't want to jinx myself, but I have a 2013 Honda Accord with 250k. I change the oil every 15k to 20k miles. I have been using the Mobil with Dexos, but I just switch the the high mileage Mobile. I also use the 20k filter...(I had to switch to the Mobile because Fram was not available.) I really think the 5k oil change mantra is a long term hoax however I would love to know what your tests show. I would like to learn more. BTW, how important is Dexos. Note: The Mobile Extended is now labeled new.

@robo7981

Is there any reason I shouldn't run high mileage in a vehicle that isn't over 75K miles yet? I have a F-150 V8 that tows. It has 24k on it. Should I run high mileage?

Great video it would be a cool to see how if 10000 mile oil filters and 10000 oils still hold up to their claims after 10000 miles.

I have a bunch of Mobil One High Mileage, but it's not Dexos approved so I did the initial change in my 2025 GMC Canyon with Redline Pro Series 5W-30, which IS Dexos 1/2/3 approved, but I may go ahead and use the Mobil One next change. I need to use it.

i will never use supertech again, evaporates.

Could you do another high mileage comparison with Pennzoil , Castrol ,Valvoline and Amsoil.

i put high millage and my crank seal started to leak , it sofen the seals ans that can cause leaks

@francoischevrier5335

Is there any reason not to use the high mileage from the beginning? Except the warranty requirement?

If you're using AT-205, is high mileage needed or redundant?

Thank you very much for the years of great tests. This is another one that I will be using to help me make a choice for my 190K oil change for this "new to me" Mark LT. All the best to you and your family!

I use valvoline premium full synthetic extended protection high mileage with maxlife technology 5w30 in my 2017 f150 5.0. Great oil. Have a 103k on it.

@jew0182
@

I use SuperTech 5w30 syn High Mile on my oil burner cars until the oil burning slows down. It's cheap at $5 a quart. Cleans the rings and sludge after about 4 oil changes over the years. I'm not going to spend $12-15 a quart on Group IV or V oil if I have to add a quart every week

@antri-m4l
@

Just get a good oil and change it at 3000 to 5000 miles based on your driving habits and call it a day

@jonbulau5963
@

The Dexos label on the oil jug is simply a licensing agreement with GM. If the oil company doesn't pay GM for the license to label the oil container, they can't use the Dexos designation. It has nothing to do with oil quality.

Knowing how companies employ cost reduction and ingredient substitution based on market forces over time, it would be interesting to see the lab test comparisons on all four oils used in this project after 3 years since the last test.

@jordannash1998

The concept of high mileage oil is to provide more cushion protection for worn bearings. Mobile One now comes in Standard, Advanced Fuel (all start with Ow), and High Mileage, with all claiming 10,000 mile protection. Meanwhile, the newer Extended Performance-High Mileage version has 20,000 mile protection. Since we never go over 5,000 miles between oil changes and not much difference in cost, I am wondering if the Extended Performance-High Mileage version is the best? I am not certain there is a filter that is rated at 20,000 miles, but for self, that is a moot point.
