Milestones: Global Expedition Series Launches Today

XOVERLAND Lessons Learned

Spring, Texas – March 26, 2026:  Imagine driving 25,000 miles across three continents on some of the most challenging roads on earth. Now imagine doing it all on a single oil change. That’s the challenge at the heart of Milestones: Global Expedition, a new 10-episode series from XOverland documenting an extraordinary journey from Montana to Cape Town. This unprecedented journey put 13 crew members, three Toyota vehicles, and a single Mobil 1 oil change to the ultimate test.

The series, presented by General Tire, follows the XOverland team on their most ambitious expedition yet, traversing North America, Europe, and Africa, connecting the furthest geographic edges of each continent. The weight of navigating technical terrain, intense conditions, and cultural dynamics is on full display. The journey features a three-vehicle convoy of specially equipped Toyota Tacoma Trailhunters and Toyota Tundra, all powered by the i-Force Max hybrid powertrain. Built for technical terrain and remote work, supported by trusted partners including General Tire, CBI Offroad, Redarc Electronics, Alu-Cab, and Bowen Customs, with apparel provided by Fjällräven. Along the way, the XOverland team will perform routine check-ins with Mobil 1 experts, evaluating exactly how the Extended Performance formula is operating mile after mile—offering a powerful real-world demonstration of how Mobil 1 Extended Performance Motor Oil keeps vehicles running strong under the most demanding conditions.

“Our most ambitious expedition to date required equally ambitious partners,” adds XOverland Founder and Expedition Leader Clay Croft. “When you’re crossing three continents and taking on some of the most dynamic terrain in the world, confidence in your equipment matters. For us, this journey was about removing variables, reducing risk, and knowing our vehicles were supported every mile of the way. It was a test for Mobil 1 Extended Performance, but for us, it was the removal of variables and the peace of mind we had knowing that we could push this product further than any other motor oil. Protecting our vehicles and, frankly, sometimes our crew.”

“The Mobil 1 brand has always been about pushing limits in ways that matter for real drivers,” shares North America Marketing Manager Austin Johansen on behalf of the Mobil 1 team. “With the new Mobil 1 Extended Performance formula, drivers get guaranteed protection for up to 25,000 miles, and there’s no better way to put that promise to the test than on this bold adventure with XOVERLAND.”

Mobil 1 Extended Performance Motor Oil is available now at major retailers nationwide and online.

Milestones: Global Expedition will be brought to audiences via YouTube, with Episodes One and Two launching today. Throughout the series, viewers will follow the XOverland team through breathtaking landscapes, cultural encounters, and the real challenges of life on the road, capturing what it takes to push both vehicles and people to their limits.
