Mobil 1 Selected as Exclusive Factory Fill for Bentley Continental GT Coupe; The World's Leading Synthetic Motor Oil Selected for the World's Fastest Four-Seat Coupe

FAIRFAX, Va.--May 3, 2004--ExxonMobil today announced that Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil has been selected as original equipment (factory fill) for the new award-winning Bentley Continental GT. Each new vehicle will be filled with Mobil 1 in the viscosity grade SAE 0W-40 at the factory, and Bentley recommends new owners request Mobil 1 for service fill to ensure future reliability.

"Our relationship with ExxonMobil allows Bentley dealers globally to provide customers with a motor oil capable of maintaining the quality and reliability of our cars," said Mike Morris, Director of After Sales, Bentley Motors Ltd. "ExxonMobil has created and distributes the best motor oil available for our Continental GT customers, no matter where they live or how they drive."

"With speeds reaching 198 mph, the Continental GT is a performance vehicle," said Jerry Kohlenberger, president, ExxonMobil Lubricants & Petroleum Specialties Company. "Such high performance demands the highest quality lubrication. We are extremely proud to be the motor oil of choice for the Bentley Continental GT. This milestone further validates our commitment to helping deliver maximum engine performance to our customers."

Mobil 1 provides a variety of performance benefits for the Continental GT. These include fuel economy, excellent oil flow characteristics, and outstanding engine wear protection. Mobil 1 can operate in a temperature range from -45 degrees C (-49 degrees F) to +200 degrees C (+392 degrees F). Mobil 1 0W-40 is ideally suited for high-performance super-charged and turbo-charged engines.

Mobil 1 will be stocked in single bottle and four-bottle packs and made available to Bentley dealers worldwide through the Bentley parts operation in Crewe, U.K. Bentley dealers will also be able to purchase direct from ExxonMobil.

As a result of its close working relationship with many leading car manufacturers, Mobil 1 is also original equipment in a number of other high-performance vehicles.
