Title: not an oil thread
Post by: Andy B on 06 May 2010, 23:40:36

Do we know the specifications of Vauxhall's fully skimmed 5w30 oil? I ask because of SWMBO's Smart that Mercedes specify Mobil 1 for. I aint paying £50 a gallon for a name, but the Smart 'experts' all seem to harp on that a Smart has to have Mobil 1 in it or it'll die. :-? ;D ;D ;D
If i had some numbers to compare them to Mobil 1's

Wonder if they have to specify coz of F1 sponsorhip deals.

Here you go.. Andy C explains all.

Assuming a 5w30 oil is acceptable it should be fine, Mobil 1 is silly money. ;D

As you say as long as the spec is the same why pay for a name?
