National Oil Check Week

Did you know nearly half of all engines need a top-up, and 1 in 5 are running dangerously low on oil? That's why Mobil 1 has pledged to support National Oil Check Week website. Running from 15th-19th June, the event features roadshows in Edinburgh, Manchester, Bristol and Bluewater, as well as participating Esso service stations, where you can get advice and a free oil check.

Checking your oil levels only takes 60 seconds, but could save you thousands of pounds in car repair bills. Despite this, almost half of all engines need a top-up. Mobil 1, the World's Leading Synthetic Engine Oil, gives your engine the ultimate in wear protection and optimal performance.

So remember:
• Check your oil level at least once per month
• Keep your oil level topped-up to the max with Mobil 1
• Always check your oil before a long journey

Win a Mobil 1 oil portrait

Mobil 1 is working with many motorsport teams around the globe, testing our products in the most demanding environments in order to develop cutting-edge products for use in everyday road cars. As Technology Partners to the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team, Mobil 1 commissioned artist David Macaluso to create an exclusive Mobil 1 oil portrait of reigning 2008 FIA Formula One™ World Drivers’ Champion Lewis Hamilton.

Macaluso, an expert in the use of motor oil as a painting medium, said: “When people look at my portrait of Lewis Hamilton, I want them to know it contains the Mobil 1 that circulated inside his McLaren engine. History was made by Hamilton with this oil, and to experience this painting is to be eye-to-eye with that history."

To launch National Oil Check Week, we're giving away a limited edition print of this unique portrait. For your chance to win, click here.
