Article Oil Change Every 20,000 Miles? ExxonMobil Guarantees It Image

We all know synthetic motor oil normally lasts somewhere between 3000 to 5000 miles, and that drivers should get an oil change after every three to four months.

But there is a new oil, Mobil 1 Annual Protection, that comes with a pretty bold claim: ExxonMobil guarantees its engine oil will last for 20,000 miles between changes or up to one full year.

“Mobil 1 Annual Protection is a pioneering product that will save our customers valuable time,” said Michele Biamonte, automotive marketing manager for ExxonMobil. “Our engineers have worked tirelessly to ensure it provides a full year or up to 20,000 miles of engine protection that will allow drivers to keep their engines running like new.”

Extensive testing under the most rigorous driving conditions for over six years

Engineers at ExxonMobil’s research facility in Paulsboro, N.J., conducted extensive testing on Mobil 1 Annual Protection. The team wanted to find out what the engine would look like after running for an extremely long time using this advanced, fully synthetic engine oil.

Over the course of a simulated six-year period, three vehicles – a Lexus NX 200t, Ford Fusion, and Chevy Malibu – were each driven 120,000 miles under the most rigorous driving conditions, with an oil change every 20,000 miles.

The engineers dismantled and checked the engines. They were delighted to find them still in perfect, brand-new factory condition with no visible signs of sludge or degradation.

A Guide to Purchasing Inconel: Tips and Considerations

Inconel® is a family of nickel-chromium superalloys known for high strength, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. Well-suited to demanding applications, Inconel alloys typically comprise 50–70% nickel, 15–25% chromium, and other elements such as iron, cobalt, molybdenum, and tungsten. The specific composition of an Inconel alloy depends on its intended applicati

3D-Printed Metal Matrix Composite Could Boost High-Temperature Aerospace Components

A research team at the University of Toronto has created a metal matrix composite that stays light, strong, and stable at temperatures where most aluminum alloys fail. The material is produced through a combination of laser-based additive manufacturing and micro-casting, giving it a reinforced-concrete-like architecture on a microscopic scale. That structure delivers strength at both ambient and e
