Mobil 1 5w30 Truck and SUV?

I usually get the normal Mobil 1 5-w30, full syn like this:


But I also see the 5w30 "truck and SUV"


Does anyone know what the "truck and suv" blend adds? Is it anything worth getting, is it harmful?

Here are the links (with the specs)

All it says is it has an extra antioxidant to help remove deposits caused by harder working engines. Such as towing hauling heavy loads etc.. I really don't see the need in using it in your car, however I strongly don't think it would hurt anything. I would just stick with the full syn. That's my opinion

The truck and suv oil also meets the higher ACEA A5 rating, which means it may be sutiable for an itsy bitsy longer drain duration. Buy the T&SUV if the 2 are the same price. It's a slightly better oil.
