Mobil 5W50 engine oil refers to a group of synthetic oils produced under the Mobil 1 brand.

Mobil 1 oil has proven itself among consumers. According to sales results for 2015 and 9 months of 2016, the oil of this brand has won a leading place in terms of sales. Mobile also provides good engines to the first overhaul.

On literary cars, the overall mileage before the engine's bulkhead exceeds the mark of 500,000 km of run. Also, this manufacturer has proven itself well in the market of transmission and industrial oils, which also includes the top ten.

Packing Oil

The market shows Mobil 5W 50 oil, packaged in plastic gray canisters with a capacity of 4 and 1 liter. For the convenience of servicing large car parks there is a packaging in plastic barrels with a capacity of 20 liters and iron barrels with a capacity of 208 liters.

We read the label

The total synthetic under consideration is used mainly for gasoline engines with increased technical data. According to ExxonMobil, this lubricant can be used to fill in diesel engines. The possibility of such an application specifies the CF API marking indicated on the product label.

According to the ACEA standard, the fluid is intended for use in forced engines experiencing high mechanical loads operating in severe operating conditions. Marking on the European standard indicates the applicability of this type of lubricant for diesel engines with direct injection of fuel, including for use on light trucks.

By deciphering the API encoding, the petrochemical product can be applied on release vehicles after 1996 and has increased protection against oxidation.

All standards, except SAE, indicate that the oil is applicable when operating the engine with an increase in the interval interval of replacement.

Characteristics According to SAE Mobil 1 5W50 standards indicate the optimal temperature of the engine start. The outdoor temperature providing optimal lubricating oil properties when started from -30 to + 50c.

The technical meaning of such a limitation of the operation mode indicates that at a minimum winter temperature, an oil viscosity is provided sufficient for the engine with a standard starter standard battery indicated in the vehicle specification.

At the maximum air temperature of air + 50c, the condition is ensured that the oil film does not flow from the surface of the mating parts and retains its protective properties of the rubbing pair.

Description of oil. The specified in the quality certificate indicates that this product corresponds to GOST R 51634-2000. For the technical staff of the old school, the designation 5W50 corresponds to GOST M-3Z / 20E 1 E 2. In fact, if you correlate the labeling with the old GOST, this technical fluid has the highest possible all-season application based on the requirements that operated until 2003.

Applicability

Mobil1 5W50 assumes all-season use in any car engines. Increased summer lubricants ensure reliable operation of motor engines at temperatures up to + 50c.

Do not forget that when parking an open-air park in a summer sunny day at an air temperature + 35s, the temperature in the pumpapot space can easily reach + 50c. Therefore, such a type of liquid lubricant is indispensable when using tactics for replacing the oil in a row during the operation of the car in the southern regions of the country.

However, it is also indispensable when used to fill into a fleet engine operating with the excess of the passport commercial load of the car, or for cars that are often in traffic jams.

Modern cars are equipped with fuel economy systems that turn off the engine when stopping at the traffic light, followed by launch when the gas pedal is pressed. With a long stop in the plug conditions, the oil that has reached the operating temperature is able to drain into the crankcase. This happens when parking is more than 10 minutes. The technical characteristics specified in Kola 5W50 are able to provide a secure engine start.

Mobil1 5W50 and 15W 40 engine oil has approval for filling on the Mersedez Benz, Volkswagen, Porsche, Lexus and BMW conveyor.

As is known, the engine fluid is designed to lubricate the engine parts, and therefore its quality plays a far from the last role in the operation of the motor. Therefore, the choice of oil should be paid to special attention. Today we will tell you that it is a motor oil mobile 1 5W50, reviews of motorists that used this liquid will also be provided at the end of the article.

Characteristics

Motor oil (hereinafter - mm) Mobil 1 5W-50 is a completely synthetic fluid, which is manufactured by the patented technology of the company "Mobile". This mm is a quality product, tested time and domestic motorists. The 5W-50 marking fluid is the all-season consumable material, which means it can be operated both in summer and in the cold season.

In terms of its operational characteristics, "Mobile" is largely superior to other consumables on mineral and semi-synthetic basis. According to the manufacturer itself, mm is able to provide a reliable level of engine protection. In many respects, this is possible, due to the high properties of the temperature of the fluid and its viscosity, as a result of which the oil promptly goes to all points of lubrication.

The rapid intake of engine fluid allows you to provide good conditions for running a motor in a heavy frost, and the temperature-viscous properties, in general, comply with the SAE standard. It should also be noted that the oil ensures reliable protection of the parts of the motor from elevated wear.

According to the manufacturer, liquid is able to ensure gasoline savings, and the API SH category is once again confirmed by this fact.

What are the advantages of using the synthetic "Mobile 5W50" compared to mineral and semi-synthetic liquids?

• even when using a vehicle with large replacement intervals of mm, the operational characteristics of the liquid remain stable;
• good low-temperature MM qualities, which makes it easy to run the motor and protect its parts and all components from increased wear, especially if the machine is used in a cold climate;
• when driving at elevated circulation, high-temperature characteristics allow you to ensure the protection of the motor even at maximum loads;
• also liquid, can increase the operation time not only new, but also an old motor;
• fuel economy compared to other liquids;
• reduced consumption mm - engine oil practically does not "leave";
• we note the safety of use: mm from Mobil does not have a negative impact on human health if the necessary conditions for the treatment of liquid are observed;
• MM "Mobil 5W50" does not require specific precautions, if the rules of personal hygiene are observed (in particular, the washing of clothing, polluted mm, washing the skin with water with soap).

Now we suggest familiarizing yourself with the technical characteristics of MM:

• according to the SAE standard, as mentioned above, the viscosity class is 5W-50;
• the kinematic viscosity indicator at a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius is 103 USD;
• the kinematic viscosity indicator at 100 degrees of the motor operation is 17 WST;
• the viscosity index coefficient is 184;
• the rate of dynamic viscosity at 150 degrees and at high shear rate is 4.2;
• Mm will start glare at -54 degrees of the environment and lower;
• the fluid can ignite at a 240 degree motor operation, but it is unlikely, since the coolant will boil earlier and the engine operation will be impossible.

What cars fit?

In essence, Mobil 5W50 is suitable for most vehicles found in domestic roads. In particular, the liquid is capable of ensuring a reliable level of protection of modern diesel and gasoline engines in:

• passenger cars;
• minibuses;
• crossovers and SUVs.

Using Mm Mobile is advisable in those engines whose cars operate in high gravity. Also here include engines with turbocharger.

Mobile 1 5W50 motor oil in liter and four-liter packs

The manufacturer recommends the use of consumables for motors that work at maximum revs and with maximum loads. Here we are talking about machines, the gearboxes of which allow the activation of the sports mode. In other words, mm from "Mobile" is suitable for most of the cars available today. The liquid is recommended for use in auto following manufacturers:

• Audi;
• Mercedes-benz;
• PORSH;
• Skoda;
• Volkswagen.

Reviews

What can tell about the quality of the consumable material better than the reviews of motorists? Therefore, we offer to get acquainted with them.

Positive	Negative
Filled the engine oil "Mobil", drove about 8 thousand on it. By the way, I changed in front of the winter, so all the advantages were made to evaluate under conditions of hard operation. Firstly, the liquid from the engine does not go anywhere, for all time it felt about 200 grams. Secondly, even in the lung frost, the machine started very easily and at ease, I was even surprised. I have always had problems with the start of the cold, I had to add additives, but here everything is clearly. Recommend!	I do not know why I have this way - despite the comments of the manufacturer that the oil does not go away, I had to add about one and a half liters after replacement. Changed the engine oil, drove about a thousand kilometers, decided to check the level. Schupe identified that at a minimum. In general, for 10 thousand km mileage had to add a lot (there is no leakage), and the oil was not cheap, I had to buy a liter bottle. I put "minus".
I decided to change the oil, I have Mitsubishi Outlander. I came to the store, I thought that it was better not to save and take something high-quality. The seller advised the Shell first, but I used them and honestly, not all arranged. Therefore, took Mobil. There are no complaints, completely satisfied with the purchase.	I was advised to fill Mobil 5W50 many times. I never walked on it, and then suddenly decided to try. And very in vain, I'll tell you so much. Not only does it go out to be incomprehensible where, well, in a volunteer, probably. So the color of him is strange some kind of replacement. In general, I do not trust and not advise.
Lew to your car (Toyota Camry) exclusively "Mobile". Already five times changed the liquid, and always fill the same. I once understood that she was great for my car and now I'm not going to experiment. Neither in the summer, no winter there are no problems, so I recommend not to regret money and buy a qualitative "consumator". Moreover, he fully justifies - European quality, and not that counterfeit, which we used to spill in the basements and issue for the original.	Poured, drove several thousand km, I had to top up. And for this buy another bottle. Very expensive oil, such a price does not justify itself. Moreover, it is no better than our "consumables." I can not say anything good.
My specials for a hundred discovered to pour this oil. He says that it is no need to overpay money, and the effect of it is the same as from Lukoil. Yeah, only "LUKOIL" "leaves" constantly, and with "Mobile" there are no such problems. I think so - it is better to overpaid once a little than then to face expensive repairs. Maslo completely trust.

Judging by the reviews of motorists, mm is a high-quality consumable material. In particular, this is determined by the original fluid production technology. With the handicraft manufacturer, the fake, of course, will not be able to ensure the complete execution of all the necessary functions that should perform high-quality mm. Hence the negative feedback.

Few is known how to correctly choose engine oils 5W 50. In addition to the lubrication of the engine parts, they ensure the excretion of various deposits. This makes it possible to function all the elements uninterrupted. Foreign particles found in the force unit can lead to its breakdown. The car promotes their washes and removal from the motor.

When driving, regardless of the street temperature, the power unit is heated, due to this, its details are subjected to wear. Any auto maker recommends that engine oils better pour into his car.

Properties and types of lubricants

Today's manufacturers produce many different engine oils. They all differ in origin and cost. The main lubricant fluid can be both elements that are obtained in the extraction and processing of petroleum products and chemicals made in laboratory conditions. Surprisingly, the laboratory-produced synthetic cars are much better than natural, which are also called mineral water. It is due to the fact that the synthetics passes many tests.

When using the car may remain in different conditions (temperature, speed). This affects the operation of the motor. The mineral water, which was flooded in the OI, is often not able to adapt to changing conditions. Synthetics can change its own parameters. To ensure a good effect, tested lubricants, combining synthetics and mineral water (semi-synthetic), which can be used in various cars due to their own characteristics.

Timely oil replacement will increase engine life

If the operational manual says that the mineral water is better in the motor, you do not need to use synthetic / semi-synthetic, because the viscosity of the oil is different. Because of this, the petroleum product can flow from the motor through its elements from rubber. For each machine, it is recommended a specific viscosity of the oil, installed by tests. The driver must be taken into account under what conditions he intends to ride a car. The lubricant characteristics depend on temperature. The car will be a liquid summer and viscous winter.

Too thick lubricant will not be able to perform your own task, poorly smearing the parts of the motor. This will lead to high friction. Overweight liquid petroleum products will not be able to prevent the wear of the engine parts, because it will be simply to proceed.

Winter lubricants are quite liquid. It is necessary that the Carter can start the motor. If you use a car in frost, which is intended for use in summer, it will be too viscous, the motor simply does not start. And on the contrary, if in the heat pour the winter lubricant, then the wear of the parts will increase greatly. Fast wear of the power unit can bring to sufficiently serious faults.

Usually seasonal oils need to be changed every five to ten thousand kilometers. If the car is rarely used, it is desirable to pour universal cars that combine the properties of summer and winter lubricants.

Pros 5W-50

The company "Mobile" is considered one of the best manufacturers of lubricants. Its assortment has oils with different indicators and composition. The Mobile Automasla is currently considered high-quality synthetics, which provides a comfortable and long-term use of the machine. Advantages of 5W-50:

1. Machine manufacturers recommend 5W-50 for both new cars and vehicles with mileage.
2. Tests confirmed that operating performance is very high. Lubrication is suitable for any season.
3. 5W-50 protects the motor from wear and corrosion. Unique additives that are included in the lubricant, we developed Mobil specialists, conducted many tests. Additives do not allow to accumulate in petroleum products to harmful elements, do not give to the ride. Thanks to them, the lubricant does not change their own excellent exponentials of exploitation for quite a long time.
4. The composition includes antioxidants that restore operational characteristics.
5. Tests have shown that lubricants such as 5W 40 5W-50 retain their own indicators for thirty percent longer than others. In view of this, they do not need to be replaced frequently.

According to SAE, the decoding of this all-season oil is as follows:

• 5 - the minimum temperature limit is minus thirty degrees;
• 50 - the maximum temperature limit is forty-five degrees.

5W50 has a wide range of applications. For example, it is perfectly suitable for both cars and trucks. Operational conditions may be different. When moving around the city or in the mountains, in a heat and cold, this lubricant protects the engine well. The technical indicators of the car are commonly written on its container.

Comparison with Other Oils

10W60.

Not everyone knows what the oil is 5W 50, for example, from 10W 60. To respond to this question, you need to decipher the SAE 10W60 marking. "10" means that the freezing temperature is minus twenty-five degrees. "60" means that the maximum temperature limit value is plus fifty-five degrees. Obviously, 10W60 perfectly suitable racing cars, in which the engine is strongly heated. If compared with 5w 50, then 10W60 is worse for winter conditions. In the summer there is no special difference that pouring, if you, of course, are not a racer.

5W40.

5w40 from 5W50 is characterized in that it is worse for use in particularly angry conditions, for example, in the south. The difference is that "Socipte" is recommended to pour if the street is not hotter plus thirty-five degrees.

0W40.

If you compare 0W40 with 5W 50 and perform the decryption of SAE marking, the following difference becomes visible: The temperature of the pouring temperature for the first oil is minus thirty-five degrees. This means that it is ideal for regions with a very cold winter, for example, the Far North.

5W30

Oil 5W30 is considered one of the most common lubricants used in Russian regions with moderate climatic conditions. However, if you live where the temperature is far from normal, it is better to leut in the 5W50 motor.

Many are also interested, whether it is possible to mix different lubricants. It is not recommended to do this if the other is not spelled out in the operational manual. If mixing the car with completely different composition and characteristics, it can lead to a rapid engine wear. Therefore, it is better not to risk and use some one oil.

Conclusion

The proper functioning of the car depends on the actions of the host. If the motor is pouring high-quality petroleum products, you can not doubt his smooth work. You do not need to try to save on this consumility like an oil, because it should be changed too often. Repair of parts of the power unit and their replacement will be subsequently much more expensive than buying high-quality oil fluid.

Range 5W50 will protect the automotive engine for a long time. Sadly, it often happens that the purchased petroleum product turns out to be a fake, which is not capable of smearing all the parts of the motor. So that this does not happen, you need to buy oil only in reliable vendors.

November 14, 2016

The engine oil is a lubricant, the main task of which consists not only in reducing the friction between the parts of the engine and an increase in its service life, but also in reducing the number of car owner's appeals to the service. When selection of lubricants, it is important to choose a brand, variety and type for the power unit of your car, focusing on the vehicle model, its operational conditions and automaker recommendations. Incorrectly selected oil can cause a motor no less harm than a low-quality product. Therefore, if there is a car of the European and, especially, German brand, and it will be used in rather hot conditions (for example, in the southern regions of the Russian Federation), it is worth paying attention to such all-season varieties as 5W50 from the Mobil brand owned by a major American concern .

Benefits of the brand and variety

The car motor is not only one main details, but also with the most expensive element of the vehicle. Therefore, it is worth considering his service, without saving to buy consumables and choosing well-known manufacturers. The reason to give preference to one of the All-season varieties of Magnym brand can be such advantages as:

Thanks to all the advantages of the 5W50 variety from Mobil, it can be said that, despite the significant cost of the product, its use is quite profitable. Less often replacing the lubricant and turning to the mechanics of car service on repair and maintenance of the power unit, using this lubricant, the owner of the car saves and the money, and time. And any engine to which oil brand mobile oil can:

• start at low temperatures (cold start);
• work under considerable heat;
• consulate less fuel.

You should know: All the advantages and possibilities of Mobil also touch the new motors of the top models of vehicles, and power units installed on old machines. Although certain restrictions still exist - this variety is not recommended for engines of domestic cars, released more than 20 years ago.

Decoding marking

Two digits in the name of 5W50 oils show that, according to the SAE classification, it refers to the promotional options. That is, to such materials that are designed not for a certain season, but are suitable for winter, and for summer. Thus, it is allowed to use the same lubricant mobile throughout the year, without referring to the service or without spending his own time on its replacement with the onset of cold weather or, on the contrary, heat.

The figure 5 in the title indicates the possibility of "cold start" of the motor even at a temperature of minus 30. This is a minimum value in which the liquid is capable of circulating through the system, and it is determined by adding the indicator in the title to -35 degrees. The figure 50, rarely found on the engine oil labeling, is intended to obtain information on the critical temperature values \u200b\u200bin which the lubricant is able to provide normal operation of the motor. It denotes that using Mobil varieties with such a viscosity can be even in a strong heat.

Lubrication parameters

The main characteristics of the 5W50 brand Mobil brand can be described by several numbers:

• maximum recommended ambient temperature - plus 40 degrees;
• minimal temperature indicators in which the motor can start - minus 54 degrees;
• kinematic viscosity at temperatures of 40 and 100 degrees: 103 and 17 centistox (CST), respectively;
• the viscosity index coefficient is 184;
• temperature of ignition of lubricants Mobile equal to 240 degrees. The safety of the engine work contributes to the fact that when heated to such a level, the coolant will boil and it will already stop its work.

Main varieties

The 5W50 synthetic lubricant line from Mobil is designed to expand other varieties. For example, the oil with a viscosity of 5W40 does not always provide the creation of sufficiently strong
oil fillet on the engine elements. Motor heating to high temperatures leads to the context of the protective layer from the metal. Whereas more functional, although relatively expensive, the material with increased viscosity provides protection even in a hot climate, when used during long trips, full loading of the machine and in traffic jams on urban roads. Such material can be called the best among all varieties of Mobile, which are not believed to the sports series.

The manufacturer's products are represented by the Mobil 1 series, which is manufactured using SuperSyn technology, originally intended for sports competitions. It provides the highest parameters of the motor and the protection of its details from wear, and the composition includes two varieties:

• the synthetic series is designed for high-performance modern motors working on gasoline and diesel population, including atmospheric, turbocharged and multi-chamber aggregates with a direct injection system. Lubrication is applied in any conditions (including amateur motor racing and start-stop mode), and at any temperature, but not suitable for use with the diesel filters;
• pEAK LIFE variety, which is a universal material designed to work with motors and old, and new vehicles. The oil is intended for any conditions (including extreme) and various temperatures. It is characterized by a high level of resistance to wear and can significantly reduce the number of deposits.

The manufacturer claims that the maximum value of the operational period of both varieties of Mobil lubrication is 100-150 thousand km, if you use the engine under normal conditions. But even during operation in high load mode, it is possible not to worry about the replacement of lubricant earlier than in 50-60 thousand km. The balanced lubrication composition provides not only anti-wear, but also detergents that contribute to the maximum protection and purity of the motor, which, in turn, requires less service time.

Application

According to the recommendations of car manufacturers, this type of oil is recommended for use in the following brands:

• Mobil 1 for products "Volkswagen", "Porsche", "Lexus" and BMW;
• PEAK LIFE - for the same types of transport and Mercedes-Benz cars.

Mobile brand oil with this type of viscosity also recommends such autocontracers as "Audi" and "Skoda". Lubricants are considered suitable for most cars that can be purchased and found in the territory of the Russian Federation (with the exception of domestic models). These include passenger and cargo vehicles, crossovers, SUVs and minibuses whose motors often work under high load conditions - with long-distance constant trips, at critical temperatures and even in sports mode, present in the PPC of some modern cars.

In this article, we will look at the engine oil for low temperatures 5W50, we'll figure it out in its technical characteristics, operating conditions, tell about its advantages and disadvantages, to which cars are suitable, as well as about the composition of the lubricating fluid and user opinions.

Specifications 5W50

Consider the technical characteristics of the 5W50 engine oil. The main indicator is viscosity, at low and high temperatures, it remains unchanged. Decoding, these numbers and letters in the name of oil and which properties have an oil product:

• 5w- oil is suitable at temperatures -30-25 ° C
• -50 The oil is suitable for use with heat to + 45-50 ° C.

IMPORTANT! The smaller the figure is less than the viscosity of the oil, the digit is more - the amount of thick. It follows the conclusion that the oil 5W50 can be used in the temperature range from -30 to +50 ° C.

Temperature range 5W-50

Lubricating fluids are used at low temperatures up to -35 ° C. And heating up to +100 ° C. Transferring such drops The oil fluid should maintain its viscosity without losing their qualities. Thus, the viscosity class is determined: low-temperature (winter) and high temperature (summer). The viscosity of the oil directly depends on the temperature of ° C

Benefits

5W50 lubricating liquid consists of basic oils, in combination with a package of balanced additives and thereby ensures the best quality during operation, with any temperature modes and various modes of engine operation, without losing protective properties:

• guarantees long engine operation, prevents deposits;
  Additives prolong the life of the oil;
• mixing of excellent base oils with a package of additives provide excellent wear protection;
• a large temperature range of viscosity provides protection for both high and low temperatures;
• competitive and efficient, providing protection in any working conditions.

What motors fit?

Due to the unique composition, the 5W50 oil is suitable for many car motors, in various fields of operation for both ordinary travel around the city and for limit loads on auto racing.

• in many diesel (without diesel filters) and gasoline engines;
• engines with turbo supercharger;
• all possible levels of operation.

Remember! Always pay attention to the tolerances, in the car manual, when choosing an oil.

The manufacturer recommends applying this product for those motors that work on limit revolutions and loads. We are talking about cars whose gearbox allows you to go to sports mode. This oil is recommended to use such companies:

• Audi
• Mercedes-Benz.
• Porsche.
• Skoda.
• Volkswagen.

It is also advisable to use high viscosity oils in cars that have passed more than 150 thousand kilometers, since there is a stable protective film with such viscosity. New cars with mileage up to 100 thousand Kilometers use less viscous mixtures, such as 5W30, the passage of the turn of 100 thousand is worth moving by 5W40., After 150 thousand on 5W50.

In the process of engine wear, the gaps between movable parts increase constantly. As the car is exploited, the low-viscous mixture does not cope with the task - to form a durable protective film without breaks. In addition, the gaps between piston rings and cylinders also increase and do not provide the desired compression. As a result, the lubrication fluid penetrates the combustion chamber and burns out there with the fuel mixture. What entails loss of oil in the engine. Cheese fluids will minimize these losses or eliminate altogether.

Synthetic or semi-synthetic?

With permanent operation, the car transfers all sorts of loads, various temperature conditions and modes of operation, at different speed and engine speed. It greatly affects the operation of the motor and not always a semi-synthetic oil, filled into the engine, copes with its functions by 100% and complies with the conditions and factors. Synthetic, in turn, can change its properties and adjust to certain conditions. For the correct operation of the engine, mixtures of natural and synthetic oils, called semi-synthetic, are created. The characteristics of these mixtures are optimal in most products. If the Auto Operating Recommendations indicate which type of oil is allowed, it is not necessary to retreat from this and carry out experiments, because the main characteristic (oil viscosity) will be different.

Synthetic oil is almost invulnerable to temperatures and does not lose its characteristics. The temperature does not affect the viscosity of synthetics and thanks to this, the start of the engine is made easily under all weather conditions. The only drawback is the cost of the product! Accordingly, the choice depends on your material opportunities.

Important! It is forbidden to mix mineral, semi-synthetic and synthetic oil - such a mixture can cause significant damage to the engine.

What can I mix 5W50

Mixing oil is permissible only in an emergency. If there is no other exit, then use fluids released at the same factory, from the same manufacturer so that the base is the same. Maximum run on such a mixture no more 2 thousand km. After it is worth making the engine washing and replace the oil completely.

IMPORTANT! It is not necessary to wash flushing as prevention, except when proceed from the semi-synthetic oil on synthetic or mineral.

User reviews

Sergey from Dnepropetrovsk argues that the use of 10W30 oil is optimal if you require all the well-known instructions. Its price fully corresponds to the quality of the product.

Dmitry, Donetsk. I have been using this brand for almost 5 years, it suits me, the car works fine, there are no problems.

Alexander from Rostov-on-Don suggests that this oil has no special advantages, but its price is also not high. This allows you to use in your car.

One of the residents of Samara, who preferred to remain incognito, talks about significant disadvantages of oil. It burns and highlights an unpleasant smell, I do not recommend.

Konstantin from Moscow for 15 years uses this type of oil. No complaints about this type of oil.
