"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."
For leading the market based on stringently selected criteria, ExxonMobil is the worthy recipient of the 2016 US Product Leadership award in the motor oils market. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed a product with innovative features and functionality, gaining rapid acceptance in the market.
