...so I just had the one spanner service done by Chrysler here in Manchester, England. As I only recently bought the car; I wanted the peace of mind from having the service done by them so that I had some comeback should anything be amiss afterwards.

Anyway, all seems well however I asked what oil they'd used and they answered Mobil 1 0W 40 which is the right one, I believe. But he then said they'd left a new bottle of oil in my car - great I thougfht but it's not the Mobil 1, it's Penzoil (see attached pic)...

The questions I have are... is this oil any good? ... and is it possible they didn;t use Mobil 1 and used this cheaper stuff

 

I believe that is the spec that Chrysler has moved to since the announcement of the production pull of the 0W-40. Should still be just fine.

 

SAMEO SAMEO Oil is oil and this is the synthetic which is improved for heat and wear. Just to change it like every 5000 and grin. Woody

 

Well as of 2010 production from Chrysler they are still using Mobil 1 0W-40 oil in there engines atleast the 6.1 HEMI does.

 

That oil is just fine. Guaranteed that is what they used as it is much cheaper than Mobil 1 (for them, anyway). But, it is another reason that I do my own oil changes so that I know exactly what goes into my engine.

 

I think you might be right... it would be V cheeky of them though, as they specified Mobil 1 on the invoice / receipt with the Pennzoil being described as 'top up oil' rather than mentioning the brand.

Oh well

 

I love the pennzoil Platium euro 5w40 (they also have euro ultra). I had to go to a Pennzoil/Shell distributor to get mine. It is a much better oil for our Crossfires. The loud engine noize in the morning is now gone. The oil stays cleaner looking. And the engine in general is smoother.

 

Good to hear...
