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

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 ;)

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

hey ash who in perth stocks united oils? im interested in getting some of either united 1 or ultimax. what would you suggest for a streeter?

Not manr autoshops stock it, mostly trade distributors. Filters Elite in Cannington stock most of our products.

I am happy to supply you direct if you want it, specificaly the $200 special

Bringing up a old thread I used the mobil 1 5w30 however after 1000 kms I'm not happy with it I checked the oil it has broken down already and has a bit or a burnt smell and gone black I know black is a good thing as it has cleaned all the carbon out but it should not have broken down this quick looks like it's united 1 or royal purple this time for a shot

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
