Got me some Mobil 1 today for €47, instead of €72.. Good saving..

I got 5l of their own brand 5w30 for €19....

Not saying they're the same thing, but I'm not convinced that it'd make a huge diffrerence on a 12 year old car.

correct me if I'm wrong but does the v6 not need 6.5 litres

A bit over 4 litres does the job.

Thats pretty good. The price of motor oil seems to have gone done. I assume that 5w30 is semi synthetic. Did you notice how much fully synthetic was?

Mobil 1 is fully synthetic

Cant remember exact price off hand but I'm sure I got 5ltrs cheaper than €47 in Southside motor factors. Think it was Magnetex IIRC, its in a white container with a red, green and gold label on it.

You might be right, but when it comes to a blood transfusion I think an extra few quid is a worthwhile precaution.

I'm not sure all the Haufrauds have the discount .

what mobil did you bought G ? when i changed mine i bought 5 L little over 40 quid ....

I got Mobil 1 0W 40
