kingscorp Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 You have been told wrong. All Mobil 1 products are a true synthetic PAO/Ester mix (Group 4 or 5) Most the cheaper synthetics are a group 2 or 3 (Hydrocracked Mineral Oils) We (United Oil) have PAO/Ester mix United 1 5w50 and Ultimax 10w60, we also have Double Ester 171 Here are the data sheets Racing 171 United 1 Racing Ultimax Racing All these above products have been are being used in full motorsport applications now, I use the Ultimax 10w60 in my SR20 Racecar but have also used the United 1 5w50. We have a special for the United 1 5w50, $200.00 Including GST for a box of 6 x 5ltr Let me know if you want some Ashly 0417 936 001 United Oil Singapore United Oil Perth Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/372099-gulf-western-sougi-6000/page/2/#findComment-5959190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTS-t VSPEC Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hi Ash, I know you work for United Oil, so will be slightly biased, but what if anything is the difference between Mobil 1 Full Synthetic and the United Oil products ? What would you recommend for my race car ? I tend to use Mobil 1, but have also used FUCHS (when you worked there). I'm willing to swap if there is sufficient reason to Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/372099-gulf-western-sougi-6000/page/2/#findComment-5959252 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you recommend for my race car ? I tend to use Mobil 1, but have also used FUCHS (when you worked there). I'm willing to swap if there is sufficient reason to I'n not biased, I dont think you can buy a bad oil these days. True they are all different but if you do a fair comparison between different oil brands that are the same spec you wont find much difference in Performance. People tend to get caught up in Brand Marketing hype, but when is the last time you heard of an engine blowing up because the oil failed? Mobil 1 products are true synthetics, at least group 4 (PAO) and im sure some have Ester mixed in, or are full ester. All Mobil 1 products are, including Gear and Transmission Oils. As you know Paul I have worked for many oil companies (Express Oil, Shell, Mobil, Fuchs and now United Oil) I have used all their top tier synthetic lubricants and they all performed very well. But you have to know which products are "true" synthetic. I can tell you our United Ultimax 10w60 (PAO/Ester + Moly), United 1 5w50 (PAO/Ester) and 171 Racing 5w40 (Double Ester) are propper synthetic racing oil. The Ultimax and 171 have been designed specifically for motorsport use. Our United 1 Racing is also a racing oil, similar to the Mobil 1 5w50 (Grey Pack) I have free access to the United Oil products including the expensive 171 Ester, I currently use the Ultimax 10w60 in my 200sx racecar and the United 1 5w50 in my R32 GTR. I have used the United 1 5w50 in the 200sx racecar but because we sell alot of United 1 I decided to switch to the Ultimax 10w60 for stock reasons. Your race car either the 5w50 or 10w60, what lifters are you using? ash Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/372099-gulf-western-sougi-6000/page/2/#findComment-5960782 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTS-t VSPEC Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I have a 7ltr sump, and with racing you change oil pretty frequently, so it makes sense to buy in bulk. Happy to then let people try out 5L on theres. As Ash points out, pretty much all fully synthetic oils are the same.
