Unless something has changed Mobil has made the oil for Mopar for years and years. It's a fair quality oil.Funny thing is , most folks who trust the dealer to do simple task such as an oil change not only have no idea of what a quality oil is , they don't even know what their engine is speced for or what's good or bad ....most just trust the dealership blindly .... unfortunately the dealer is well aware of this .
The dealer charges a premium pice for a lesser product = dealer makes a greater return on their service all while knowing they will also fix future repairs for this idiot that they ultimately was the cause for ....and again they will charge a premium because the BS Warranty has recently ran out ...

The only other name in the hat I'm aware of is penzoil. Also fair oil. I was never able to verify the penzoil change.LMAO, something has changed.
Their synthetic was mobil one with a different label, no different than the off the shelf product. It's likely the same now regardless of who supplies it.I'm sure Mopar is decent oil, likely way over priced, but likely decent quality.
The rift between Mobil and FCA, I doubt they are mixing the oil. Also, knowing Mopar they are likely using a much cheaper blender then mobil. This is just a guess, but I would need to see evidence to be convinced otherwise.
Sorry for the double post.I always thought Mobil1 was better than a fair oil, maybe not botique status, but at least in the upper part of the category.

I guess it could be the same oil, if it has the Mopar label on it it meets ms6395, if it has Mobil label on it it don't.it would have to be different as m1 doesn't meet rams spec ms6395. That was the rift I was talking about.
They all come and go. Right now rotella is all the rage.For some reason, I recall Penzoil Platinum having a bad rep a few years ago... am I mistaken?
It takes forever to dial in differences between oils for the average driver. If you are putting 50k on a vehicle a year you can gather enough data across 2 years. For your average driver it would take a decade of ownership.I've never heard Pennzoil is poor quality since Shell bought them. If I didn't have an oil choice locked up, I would experiment with it to see how it measured up against m1. it is a very clean base oil and is putting out great uoa's.
We don't know that Mobil1 doesn't meet ms6395, it's never been tested. If Peak and some of the other oils I've seen that meet ms6395 I wouldn't have any problems running Mobil1. Personally I'm thinking of giving it a shot to see how it does.it would have to be different as m1 doesn't meet rams spec ms6395. That was the rift I was talking about.
