Now that I look again, it does appear to only be MB229.1. But for a "General Store" it sounds like a reasonable price, like in the US at Dollar General stores it's like $4-5/qt for cheap convetional/syn blend.I can't read all the approvals on the sticker though, looks like MB 229.1 only?
It does have MB 229.1 and Avtovaz approval and only meets requirements of ACEA A3/B4 and API SL. Usually olis sold in Europe will not have meets requirements regarding ACEA.What specs and why are they hilarious?
It also has VW approvals.It does have MB 229.1 and Avtovaz approval and only meets requirements of ACEA A3/B4 and API SL. Usually olis sold in Europe will not have meets requirements regarding ACEA.
Only 229.1 and Autovaz approval. Whatever that is.By ordering online you can usually get the Total Quarte 9000 Energy 5w40 which has MB 229.5 approval for same price or cheaper, but for a brick and mortar store the price doesn't look that bad.

You have a good eye. I've missed the VW approval.Plus VW 502 00/505 00.
It also has VW approvals.
And "meets requirements" is appropriate for a ACEA sequence since it is not an approval. It's also appropriate language for an API license.
noticed that too.The most interesting thing about this oil is that it says on the package to use it within 5 years of the manufacturing date.
In the US there's a batch code printed onto the label the date is in the middle of it with the formal of YY M DD , the year and day are numerical, the month is a letter.Don't they at Mobil usually print manuf date on the jug's bottom that can only be read with black light?
same in EUIn the US there's a batch code printed onto the label the date is in the middle of it with the formal of YY M DD , the year and day are numerical, the month is a letter.
