Mobil 1?

SOON2BXR6T · 17/02/06 05:56 AM

Hi guys, I'm sure its been discussed a million times before.... Tried searching with mixed results so...

My T is booked in for its 60000 next week. It's only ever had whatever oil ford service put in and that's never worried me cos I dont keep cars much over 2 years. When I booked it in price was $250 odd with "normal" mobil or $360 with Mobil One.

A mate is now gonna buy my car and he works for Repco so I thought I'd get the oil through him.

So: If I get Mobil One, which viscosity should I get? How many litres do I need (Book say capacity is 7ltrs?)? Does it really cost $110 more than the non-synthetic stuff??

Thanks in advance.

Mobil 1 - Is just that

Mobil 1 (there is only 1)

I ran it exclusively in the T and now in the Phoon.

Is it worth the money???

I use Magnatec and it does very very well.

What are you talking about dude?

There are several different viscosity ratings for mobil 1 available. Although some are harder to find in stores than others.

0W-40

10W-30

5W-50

15W-50

Thanks for the replies guys.

Does anyone know the answers to my questions. Book says to use 15w-40. So would I go for the 15w-50?

I use Mobil 1 5W-50.. I recommend them, I think 15w-50 from simons experience (if I am right) is pretty good too, but they are hard to find in stores around here.

The first number is the oil vilosity cold so the lower the number the better it will flow to the top at startup(so 0w is better then 15w) and the second numer is the oils vilosity at opperating temp so the higher the better(but not to high as it wont flow through your oil jornals as good as a lower grade I.e. a 70 grade will be better for your older engines that are claped out ) I use on both my cars the Mobil 1 0w-50. my misses car is a 01 ts astra with dohc it done 110,000 and when you remove the oil filler cap a few cam lobes are visable and they still look as good as the day we brought it new(and it gets a flogging to) So its difently with the extra bucks
