why such a large difference? what can you tell? is mobil higher quality so it justifies the double cost?
is there any evidence that proves technically that mobil is so much good?
tests?
thanks
I use the Mobil 1 ECF (European Car Formula) 0w-40 in my Crossfire. If I were to switch to the Pennzoil product line, I would use the Pennzoil Platinum
Euro Full Synthetic 5W-40 Motor Oil.
What I am considering with the next oil change is using a couple of quarts of Amazon Basics 0w-40 European Formula Full Synthetic motor oil. Reports show it to be an equal to the Mobil 1 brand in lube tests. It is manufactured in Omaha, Nebraska by Warren Distribution, which is a producer of many lube products for both public & private labels.
