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.

Why Titanium Is Used in Aerospace Applications

Ever wondered why titanium is used in aerospace? It’s because it gives engineers a rare mix of strength, low weight, heat performance, and corrosion resistance. In aircraft design, every pound counts. But weight savings can’t come at the expense of safety, fatigue life, or certification. Which is why titanium is specified for parts where weight, strength, heat, and corrosion performance all aff

NASA’s X-59 Quiet Supersonic Aircraft Breaks the Sound Barrier for the First Time

NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft has flown faster than the speed of sound for the first time, marking a major milestone for the agency’s Quesst mission. The aircraft reached supersonic speed on Friday, June 5, 2026, during an 81-minute test flight that began and ended at Edwards Air Force Base in California. NASA test pilot Jim “Clue” Less flew the X-59 to Mach 1.1, or about 713 m
