Oil. Why should I use
Why should I use Mobil1. Why 0w40, Why should I even use a motor oil in my engine that is approved by
MB. No. I did not search but over the last 15 months have read almost every post. |
Re: Oil. Why should I use
Dollar General has a great price on oil.. be sure and let us know how that works out for you and feel free to post back your results. Guess somebody needs to risk their engine to break new grounds..

Re: Oil. Why should I use
New Ground? I have about three gallons of maple syrup I can't eat... if I put that stuff in and take off for the Dragon - would THAT be "breaking new ground"? ;)

Re: Oil. Why should I use
Answer #1. The use of low cost oil is not a good Idea. OK. I accept that. Why not a SL oil with a viscosity appropriate for my environment?

I would not recommend using the Dollar General Oil as some helpful Senior Member has suggested. I would just stick with what the manual recommends and you will be fine. Sorry I couldnt be of more help. |

Didn't you see that commercial? Castrol can be drained and do burn outs without damage.. imagine the wieght savings at the track! :rolleyes:

Re: Oil. Why should I use
Never ran on maple syrup but did run a 260z mostly on water for a few miles. I guess maple syrup is out because of a jelling issue?

Re: Oil. Why should I use
Na.. Just bring car up to extreme temperature and pour in slowly.. drain when stopping for more than 10 minutes and repeat as necessary..

Re: Oil. Why should I use
Let's assume I use a name brand SL 0w40 synthetic (not blended.) What's my exposure? Would it void my warranty?

Re: Oil. Why should I use
I am 15 months and 5k miles since my last change and have 8qts 0w40 or 5w40 Quaker State synthetic ready to go in. Just waiting for the wrench to lite telling me the MB approved M1 has gone the distance.

Re: Oil. Why should I use
Two words.. Craigs List.. your car..your engine.. but personally mine will never see anything other than the Mobil 1.

Re: Oil. Why should I use
Dollar General is not on my approved vendor list but I do patronize Dollar Tree.
Are you following the FSS for scheduling oil changes? |
Re: Oil. Why should I use
Can't remember a Castrol commercial. Got a Fiat commercial blocking all others.
