Mobil 1 5w-30 & Purolator Boss PBL14612.
I usually use Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 but wanted to try something different.

Well, this is different.

15qts QS Euro 5w40 via Walmart for $45. Guess I've hoarded enough oil to cover my fleet for 2ish years.

How does this compare price-wise to the equivalent M1 504 oil?

Same/same depending on retailer. It’s made by Mobil anyway.

Just curious - I wonder how it compares to the M1 ESP 0W30 (same?)?

5L Mobil 1 FS 0w30 for the mower at Amazon. About the same price I paid for 5L back in 2014. $22.95

Hows the TSI in that tank? We've eyed them since the debut, but only considered the VR.

I haven’t looked at any UOA’s to compare but I would assume they are similar enough.

Very surprising. I think they sandbagged the power numbers a little bit. I didn’t feel like I was really giving up anything to the VR6. The torque down low really cleans it up. The tiny TSI in the engine bay is hilarious though.

Edit: sorry for getting off topic.

Picked up 5qt jug plus 1qt (5.5 qt capacity) M1 EP 5w20 and a k&n ps-1004 oil filter for the 13 sonata 2.4l. My other go to filters were out of stock m1-104a and Fram ultra 0688. Sorry no pictures lol

Excellent!
We get two GTX UltraClean semi-synthetics over here, a 10W30 and a 15W40 with Euro specs.

The 10W30 is rarely on sale here, but the 15W40 is regularly seen at a very good price. Aussies love a good 15W40 PCMO at a good price, and this usually brings them through the door. I’ve seen it at $3 per litre, which is as good as it gets in Australia for a name brand PCMO rated SN/CF & A3/B3.

Nice, a blend where the 10w is a match to the 5w, most I’ve seen the 5w is usually thicker at op temp.
