Was out spending this morning (Saturday morning tradition as it turns out).
Stepped into the local auto-parts place just to look at their oil selection. No purchase intended.
Mobil 1 advertising "New SM formula" caught my eye, and I started ogling the bottles with their new labels.
Checked the price on the shelf...$104.99 for 5 litres of Mobil 1 0W-40. The 10W-30 was far better value at $15 cheaper.
Lucky that the Oz dollar is doing well at the moment, or synthetic oils would be really expensive and out of the reach of the average backyard mechanic.
Makes my GrIII Castrol at $180 per 20l drum look like a bargain.
