    New Oil from Mobil 1?

    The publicity release says the "Hybrid" version is a Walmart exclusive. It is currently $28 a 5-qt jug. The additive package is supposed to include an additive that reduces water in the oil, a problem for hybrids because they run the engine intermittently and as a result often have lower coolant and oil temps. That causes water (and fuel) to build in the oil. PR sheet says this hybrid version of Mobil 1 "...has a special additive designed to help keep water and additional contaminants away from critical engine parts.
