Excellent oil
This oil is excellent in the Buick 3800 V6, no complaints whatsoever...ok maybe oxidation is a little high. Shear stability is very good though and so is the additive package.
I have been putting it in this engine for a number of years now. I think the formula has changed once in the time I used but it still seems to be more or less just as good.
Purchased in March 2021.

Mobil 1, 5-50W Full Synthetic Engine Oil
Bought 25 litres of this oil at Supercheapauto when it had the 20% sale. Very good oil for my Honda 2004 Accord Euro Luxury and my Nissan Maxima 3.5L V6. Both vehicle responded very well to this oil. Quiet start up, smooth engine response, stronger engine performance at higher speed, quieter tappets. Again, the oil cleans the crankcase very well. Engine crankcase very shiny in both vehicles. Lexus LFA uses this oil as factory fill, along with many other prestige and high performance vehicles made in Germany and Japan. Cheaper than Mobil 1, 0-40...Read more
w. Provides higher engine protection, at 50W!!! Especially under the hot, harsh Aussie sun. Smooth engine response. Higher engine temperature protection. Factory Fill for Lexus LFA and many other high performance German and Japanese vehicles. Tappets are quieter.1 comment

Hi there, my car is 2004 toyota crown, v6 3000 engine, it has engine oil leakage problem, can I use 5w50 mobil 1 as my engine oil to reduce leakage? thanks
2 answers
Hi Leo, does your Crown have the 1MZ-FE 3.0L V6 engine in it? If so, the Mobil 1 DataTek website recommends Mobil 1 5W-30 or Mobil Super 2000 X2 10W-40.

Choosing the correct oil viscosity really depends on the climate you live in. There are lots of good websites out there explaining this. If your car is a Japanese import, then the manual will probably state a quite thin oil viscosity, similar to the northern states of USA, as it's quite cold in these regions.
In warmer climates eg. in the Southern hemisphere between the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn, then you would want to select a slightly higher viscosity of oil, e.g. Mobil 1 5W-30 or 5W-50 if it's really warm.
If you have oil leaks in your engine though, then proper repairs and regular preventative maintenance of your engine really needs to be carried out on a regular basis. Regular engine oil changes with synthetic engine oil (preferably from new), = a happy healthy engine. Hope this helps.
Thanks, points taken. I think it would help me to handle the issue

hot part of the country then you might want to look at M1 0W40 but jumping up to 5W50 from 5W30 is just plain silly.
