Mobil 1 is a brand name developed by the Mobil oil company and now marketed by ExxonMobil.

It was introduced in 1974[1] as a 5w-20 viscosity synthetic motor oil advertised for use up to 25,000 miles. Later, the miles-specific recommendation was dropped and the product reformulated in other viscosities under the "Tri-Synthetic" trademark. In 2002 Mobil 1 introduced "SuperSyn" anti-wear technology, followed by Mobil 1 Extended Performance in 2005, which increased the use of this technology further. The brand now includes - along with motor oils - oil filters, synthetic grease, transmission fluids, and gear lubricants[2].

[edit] Sponsorship

ExxonMobil (through Mobil 1) is a major, long-term partner of the Formula One constructor Team McLaren Mercedes. As well as providing lubricants and fuel to McLaren, Mobil 1 is a major brand in Formula One, for example sponsoring Grand Prix[3].
