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

    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
