Oil recommendation
I have written Mobil 1 a letter about an oil recommendation for my Jeep 2.5l Turbo Diesel
Jeep recommends a 15W40 oil or a 10W40 for Europe. I would like to drive a fully Synthetic oil. My last reserve Synthetic Mobil 1 15W50 that I brought along from the US is used up now. To bad that this oil is not available in Europe. Mobil recommended "Mobil 1 0W40 Turbo Diesel oil" for use on my Diesel. It fits my specs- but it is thin like water!!!:scare2: The price is also expensive. They charge 23$ a quart. And I have to add 7 quarts! Would you give it a try? What do you think about it? I have to change my oil every 6000miles. I really don't know what to do right now. Let me hear your thoughts, please. |
Amsoil.....can you get it over across the pond?
|
AMSOIL is avaiable internationally and I can probably get you hooked up but it's not a simple process.
On the other hand, I would have no problem running the 0W-40 you mention. Yes, these oils seem like water in the bottle but at operating temps, it's running like any other 40 weight. Might be a little overkill if you were in balmy temps, but if you have a good winter where you are, you'll be glad you have it. |
I sell exxon mobil/ conoco phillips products and i recommend the turbo diesel 5-40 full synthetic mobil 1. i run it in my power stroke and love it. And its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than amsoil ( here anyway) and its a full synthetic. FYI amsoil uses mobil base oils.....have my contacts...

Tinman875,
Show us all the proof that Mobil One 15w40 diesel oil is made with 100% Group IV & V base stock as when I asked Mobil they don't give me a straight answer as to what its made with? BTW I can buy Amsoil diesel oil cheaper then I can buy Mobil One turbo diesel at Walmart! |
we don't carry a Mobil 1 15-40. Havent heard of it. I'll contact my mobil rep. I talked to amsoil and got the info from them, and my rep also confirmed it. but as for the Mobil 1 15-40 hmm. But they do make a Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel 5-40. If it says mobil with a number 1 it means full syn. if the box says mobil then the weight, well its not. Just like thier product Delvac 1. it is a full syn 5-40 for the over the road trucks. By the by wall mart has a special deal with Mobil because they buy it by the rail cars full. as most of thier products, and we are only a couple bucks more on price. But i dare you to ask some one who works at wall mart about oil. :s:

We would like to see some specs and info on these oils. I would also like to see some specs on how Mobil stacks up to or beats the 'others' out there. If this isn't a good thread - let's start one!! Thanks, |
