I was looking for a new oil for my vehicles.
It came to my attention that the specs on paper for these two oils are similar. But the price for Veedol is almost 50% less (Veedol is now an Indian brand) while Mobil1 is still imported.
Veedol Syntron Euro Spec 5w-40
(SN/CF, A3/B4, MB 229.3/229.5, RN 0700/0710, GM- LL-025/A-B, BMW LL01, Porsche A40, VW 502.00 / 505.00, PAS B71 2296 )
TBN : 10
Flash POint: 210
Viscosity Index : 185
@100 : 13.5
@40 : 75
Mobil 1 0w-40
(API SN/CF, A3/B4, MB 229.3/229.5, BMW LL01, VW 502.00/505.00, Porsche A40)
TBN: 11.8
Flash point : 230
Viscosity Index : 185
@100: 13.5
@40: 75
There is a difference in the base number. I assume HTHS will be above 3.5 for both. Is it worth going for Veedol over Mobil1 for 50% price difference? I have tried their mineral and semi oils with satisfaction (Blue Blood and Powertron and Take OFF 4t oils).
What other details should we look at to make sure of the oils quality?
