One of the most anticipated cars set to come out, the 2010 Chevy Camaro has chosen ExxonMobil’s Mobi 1 as the factory and service fill endorsed motor oil for its new line of vehicles. The new 2010 Chevy Camaro is equipped with the high-performance Corvette-inspired LS3 engine, which is a 6.2 liter, V-8 engine that can deliver up to 426 horsepower enabling the Camaro to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds. It is available in either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission and gets an estimated 24 mpg on the highway.

With such a powerful engine from one of the highly anticipated cars set to be released, there is no question why Mobi 1 was selected. The 2010 Chevy Camaro is set to be released by 2010 in North America. A convertible version will also be available by 2011. The vehicle is currently available in Middle East.

Much has been said about the 2010 Porsche Panamera. Apparently, the people behind it are taking no choices as they have selected Mobil 1 as the factory and service-fill endorsed motor oil for all their models. Scheduled to be introduced in Fall 2009, the new, four-door Panamera represents Porsche’s first-ever luxury Gran Turismo.

The Panamera will be available as the Porsche Panamera Turbo, which features a 4.8-liter turbocharged Porsche engine with advanced direct fuel injection (DFI) technology, and delivers more than 500 horsepower.

In addition, all models of the Panamera will be among the first Porsche vehicles to be equipped with automatic engine start/stop functionality, which helps enhance fuel economy by allowing the engine to shut down and minimize idling during common daily driving conditions, such as, being stopped at an intersection or in traffic.

The 2010 Porsche Panamera Turbo will be available first in Europe starting in September, with roll out to other markets, such as the United States, to begin in October. Beyond the Panamera Turbo, the other models in the Panamera family include the Panamera 4S and Panamera S.

Eco-friendly consumers can now look forward to oil alternatives as recycled oil from Safety-Kleen has been made available in the market. For the past 20 years, Safety-Kleen has produced high quality motor oils for large commercial fleets and the federal government by re-refining used oil the company collects at thousands of car dealerships, automotive retailers and quick lube facilities across North America.

Now, Safety-Kleen is making its re-refined oil available to consumers under the brand name EcoPower. The company is targeting retailers and distributors in the top 100 U.S. markets to offer the new product, including AutoZone.

EcoPower motor oil is now available in 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30 and 15W-40 viscosity grades. In addition, all major U.S. car manufacturers have approved the use of Safety-Kleen SAE 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 ILSAC-certified motor oil in all their cars. The EcoPower SAE 15W-40 grade has also been approved by leading heavy-duty engine manufacturers.

The thing with some car accessories and parts is that they are sometimes limited to certain vehicle classes. And for SOMS Technologies, a provider of engine oil filtration products, expanding its car niche for compatibility with their eco-friendly oil filters is certainly a great piece of news for people who want to use their product.

Major European and Asian automotive brands, including Audi, Honda, Infinity, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Range Rover, Toyota and Volkswagen have now been included in their list of compatible cars that can make use of their eco-friendly filters. This latest expansion is in response to increased demand from fleets and individual drivers looking to reduce their carbon footprint while also saving money.

By extending the filter’s availability, now an even greater range of businesses and consumers can use the microGreen filter to increase environmental efficiency of their current vehicles or boost the efficiency of new hybrid vehicles.

The patented microGreen oil filter has two filters in one standard spin-on canister, which ensures that the oil stays cleaner, far longer – improving the life of the engine and allowing drivers to better maintain their vehicles. While traditional oil filters capture the larger particles in engine oil between 25 to 40 microns, microGreen’s patented microfilter system captures particles down to two microns in size.

This allows vehicles to operate up to 30,000 miles without an oil change, reducing motor oil use by 70 percent, filter use by 50 percent and cutting oil maintenance costs by 65 percent. As a result, businesses and consumers can ‘green’ their vehicles and see an immediate return-on-investment, unlike other eco-friendly alternatives.

Chevrolet has selected ExxonMobil to be the factory fill and service fill motor oil for its new cars, the Chevy Cobalt SS Coupe and Chevy HHR-SS. Both vehicles are equipped with a turbocharged, direct-injected, dual overhead cam, ECOTEC 260-hp 2.0L I-4 engine with Variable Valve Timing. Capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 miles-per-hour in 5.7 seconds, the engine is the fastest in its class and gets an estimated MPG of 22 city and 30 highway.

Chevrolet selected Mobil 1 5W-30 based on its anti-wear characteristics, extreme temperature performance and outstanding protection of critical turbocharger parts. With its patented SuperSyn™ technology, Mobil 1 is uniquely designed to provide superb levels of performance, cleaning power and engine protection.

“The new turbocharger offers an efficient and economical method of pumping air through the engine that allows this motor to provide an outstanding 130 horsepower per liter, or 260 SAE certified horsepower,” said Chris Meagher, chief engineer for Ecotec engines.
