Mobil 1 question

I went to the store to buy Mobil 1 10w 40 for my 50hp Suzuki 4 stoke and all I could find was Mobil 1 10w40 high milage. Does Mobil 1 make a 10w 40 that is not high milage? My manual says to use 10w 40 but will another weight work? I have the same question on my t8 kicker.

Thanks in advance

Mobil 1 does have a regular 10W. And no, don't use other than the recommended weight oil.

Mobil 1 is not marine certified. Go to ebay and find evinrude 4 stroke oil I have bought from a guy on there twice and the price is right and fast shipping.

Mobil 1 only offers 10W40 in their High Mileage product. Since that product contains a "seal conditioner", I would avoid it in a newer engine. Seal conditioners are intended to swell worn seals to improve sealing- not a good deal with new seals.

For once, we agree!

my engine also specifies 10w-40. That weight is not available in Mobile-1 synthetic so I started using Castrol Syntec

Not sure what exactly marine certified means, but Bass and Walleye/Trailer boats did a test and found Mobil 1 had best, or near best, corrosion resistance...even over outboard branded oils.

Be aware that Mobile have a variety of oil available now and not all of it is Mobile "1". Mobile 1 is their original synthetic oil. I think that the high mileage stuff you are looking at is just Mobile branded mineral oil. I think they have a "1000" formula for normal mileage and a "2000" product for high mileage. Both are basic mineral lube, not Mobile 1 synthetic.

just out of curiosity I sent an inquiry to Mobil-1 tech support, asking them if I could use their synthetic 10w30 high mileage formula in my 2004 Yamaha 4stk outboard and the their reply was " Yes, it is an excellent choice for your application"
