Which Mobil 1 is the right motor oil?

[ReggieD]

My vehicle has over 100,000 miles. The past owner did state that her husband always use Mobil 1.
Which oil is the right one for my vehicle?

a) Mobil 1, SuperSyn, 10W-30, Multi-Vehicle Formula, Fully Synthetic.

b) Mobil Drive Clean Plus, SAE 10W-30, High Mileage Formula, Synthetic Blend
(for engines over 75,000 miles)

Mobil One fully synthetic, 10W 30 (Green cap).

Thats the factory fill for the LT1 engine., should be fine for the L98 also (Ran it in my L98 Firebird for 7 years)

No, the question was not answered

My car has more than 100,000 mile. The Mobil Drive Clean Plus, SAE 10W-30, High Mileage Formula, Synthetic Blend
is for engines over 75,000 miles.

I guess my question should have been is the other oil better than Mobil 1. Both oils are synthetic, both oils are Mobil, but only one of the two talk about cars with more than 100K miles.

If you go to the Mobil website, www.mobil.com you will also see that both oils are listed to be used in corvettes.

The full synthetic is the one for Corvettes.

The blend was developed for high mileage cars with the idea that they are already may be burning oil and the owner may not want to pay 5 bucks a quart, but wants some of the benifits of a synthetic oil.

look at the price. the 5+ dollar a quart stuff is the true synthetic you want.
blend means just enough synthetics in it to label it synthetic.

Reggie,

I use the SuperSyn, it's got the green cap like Warren said.

You can find the 5 quart containers at Wal Mart for $19 or so. It wouldn't hurt to switch over to a nice filter if that isn't already being used like Delco, K&N or Mobil 1.

I'm sure it's compatible but Mobil 1 is what Corvette's come with from the factory and it's suggested.
