Mobile 1 isn't even an ester synthetic any more, it is that cheap pao crap. What a scam.


yeah M1 may have been basically watered down in recent years, Mobil won't come out and state what group oil they use in M1 anymore.

BEST.

They jacked the price up here @ Crappy Tire to $20 from $15 a Liter, switched to rotella diesel after that for my mocycle but buying through Amsoil independent distributors can save you a bundle of $$$.

If anyone can find a negative aspect of Amsoil I'd love to hear it.

El Cheapo Holiday gas-station brand $1.39/qt.

At this rate of drop, 99c won't take too long.

I just put german Castrol 0W30 in my car. Is the Edge/Pennzoil Platinum stuff supposed to be better?

Is it Castrol SLX OE Professional? If it is, that's some good ****! The Edge/Pennzoil Platinum maybe as good, but I don't think it's better.

Doesn't say that on the bottle.

It's ACEA A3, B3, B4 / BMW LL01 compliant.

Made in Germany, whereas the other grades are made in USA.

From what research I have done this is not a Group III oil but a group IV PAO, so it is a full synthetic. In the USA they are allowed to call hydrocracked dino oils (or gases) as a "synthetic" due to a court ruling but not in Germany.

The Pennzoil stuff is apparently a Group III base oil (obtained from Shell)

The Castrol Edge is suspected to be a Group IV but not the Edge Sport.

I'd probably keep using the GC if it was working for you. That stuff is good and some people are complaining about the newer stuff/API as being weaker simply to save the cats/emissions..

A few weeks ago when I changed my oil I put in Lucas 5W-40. It wasn't cheap but I have to say this stuff is awesome. My engine starts a lot easier in the morning and runs buttery smooth. Far superior to GC.
