I just purchased some Mobil-1 0W-40 on sale the other day at CDN Tire and noticed a few changes with the labels/info.
Namely, and the reason for this post, was it's advertised pour point of only -40?
I have a left over bottle from last year and I noticed the advertised pour point was -54, why the change?
The older stock has API SM,SL/CF and the newer bottle has ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4 API SM,SL.
I would assume the formula has changed some but I don't understand the higher point point? Is the oil just as good as it's always been or has it been cheapened somewhat?
Sorry if this has already been discussed?
