Hi bitogers,
I have a lovely 2015 MB Gla250 that my wife rarely drives, it still has plenty of warranty and I go to a dealer once a year for A/B services.
I also do an interim 6-month oil change at an indy MB mechanic (might be a waste, but I don't trust an annual oil change) and here is what I've noticed.
Whenever I go to a dealer they use MB OEM 5w40, when my mechanic uses Mobil1 5w40 Formula M.
It might be only it my head, but I feel like it runs way better on the OEM oil, smoother and quieter.
I did hear that OEM oil is not Mobil1 anymore, but is it really way better? If so, who produces it?
Thx for your attention
