Encyclopedia
Mobil 1 is a brand name developed by the Mobil oil company and now marketed by ExxonMobil.
It was introduced in 1974 as a 5w-20 viscosity Fully Synthetic motor oil advertised for use up to 25,000 miles. Later, the miles-specific recommendation was dropped and the product reformulated in other viscosities under the "Tri-Synthetic" trademark. In 2002 Mobil 1 introduced "SuperSyn" anti-wear technology, followed by Mobil 1 Extended Performance in 2005, which increased the use of this technology further. The brand now includes - along with motor oils - oil filters, Fully Synthetic grease, transmission fluids, and gear lubricants.
The most prominent product under the brand is Mobil 10W40 Protection Formula, a fully synthetic polyalphaolefin (PAO) engine oil. In the engine oil sector, a slightly thicker Motorsport Formula and a turbo diesel version are also available.

ExxonMobil (through Mobil 1) is a major, long-term partner of Formula One constructor Team McLaren Mercedes, long-term partner of DTM constructor Mercedes-Benz, Indy Racing League and NASCAR team Penske Racing. As well as providing lubricants and fuel to McLaren, Mobil 1 is a major brand in Formula One, for example sponsoring the German Grand Prix from 1987 to 2006 and the French Grand Prix from 1998 to 2005 . Since 2003, Mobil 1 has been the Official Lubricants of NASCAR and sponsors the Command Performance Award, which pays a monetary bonus to the highest-finishing Mobil 1 using team.
Mobil from 1985 to 1993 sponsored the Peter Brock Race Teams - Holden Dealer Team and Advantage Racing in the Australian Touring Car Championship.
