The Mobil 1 0W-40 that was in the chart put up by Overkill, was that Mobil 1 FS 0W-40?
The two being discussed in the presentation were Mobil 1 0W-40, the PAO version, and Mobil 1 0W-40 "New Life" which was the VISOM version, this is the one that proceeded the "FS" version we have presently (but has also been revised).
How would you rate Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30 which I am now using versus the other 0W-40 oils that Mobil 1 offers?
If they all have the same approvals, I'd expect them to perform similarly. Yes, M1 0W-40 was used at LeMans and Sebring, so it has a certain visible pedigree to it, but Mobil does a good job using quality components in all of their Mobil 1 oils, so those would be no exception.
Then what is stopping you from using it if you see it is a competent oil?
An overpriced car. There's so many people out there trying to look cool driving a BMW in my neighborhood, they get boring to look at. Besides, top 10 car with high maintenance costs. Oh that's smart.
Do you have a problem with people being able to spend money? Some people choose to "waste" their money on extravagant trips and high-end restaurants. Others choose to spend it on cars. Others buy junk for their house.
Easy there Judgment Johnny.
It would make it even dumber if you take that expensive vehicle and use an oil without the proper BMW approval. One error does not fix the other.
And what exactly does your objection/disgust with the German marques and judgements made about those driving them have to do with the subject of this thread? This seems like a rather pointless detour.
What retailer/rebate combo is beating $25 per jug?
I don't think Champ Labs makes Wix. Wix is Mann
Walmart Mobil 5W-30 EP is like $26.47 per jug online. I just bought two of them and if you use the coupon code above, it comes to $22.59 per jug. The rebate is good for 10-quarts so you can buy them for ($22.59 + tax) - $10 rebate.
Not if you buy them used. And I'm not sure why you think they're trying to be cool. I drive a Mercedes and sometimes I wonder why the heck are people looking at me. I bought it for the options (not too many cars out there with headlamp washers) and other people for better safety, they have more advanced safety systems than most other cars even today. Plus lots of standard stuff that's an option on other cars, 3 position memory driver and passenger power seats, etc. Maintenance costs are always high if you take it to the dealer, very reasonable or even cheap if you can diy or take it to a good indy mechanic.
