"In our recent survey of automotive technicians, respondents were asked to select the brand of motor oils they consider the overall best," said Frost & Sullivan Program Manager Stephen Spivey. "Mobil 1 was named the overall best brand of motor oils by 22% of technicians surveyed. In 2015, Mobil 1 already had a 10% lead over its nearest competitor."

When quizzed on why they rated Mobil 1 oils the best, many technicians highlighted the quality and the reputation of the product as superior. They indicated manufacturers used it and customers trusted it.

"In a 15 point comparison chart between Mobil 1 and its nearest competitor, Mobil 1 led on most key points, including timely delivery, ease of ordering process, customer preference, and warranty coverage," added Spivey. "This is a strong vote of trust, considering that more than 70% of respondents have 15+ years of experience."
