I came across Mobil 1 10w-60 shopping for 10w-60 oil, only saw it mentioned in a few threads at the UK m3cutter forum, none here (0w-40/5w-50 aside).
Looking at
it's specs it seems to be slightly better than the
Castrol 10w-60! (wider VI, so slightly thinner when cold), sulphur content is slightly higher though, not sure what that entails?
Couldn't find the HTHS for the Castrol though, anyone know what it is? (and if so, where you found it) [update] apparently it's 5.2, see
my post here for more info.
Mobil 1's 10w/60 VI works out to 174.
10 lts (2x5) of Mobil 10w-60 I can get for £91 from Opie oils [edit, got it from the RAC for £80 delivered in the end!]
10 lts (2x8 + 2x1) of Castrol 10w-60 is £124 (from Opie and an ebayer)
Am I missing something here? Something wrong with Mobil??
AFAIK Mobil is a really good make of oil right?
(Oh, yes I know the Mobil was never approved by BMW
)
PS Sticking to 10w-60 as I'll be replacing bearings with custom mixed & measured ACL ones (hopefully next month!). And hence 10 lts, not 9.
Helmsman I saw you replied to one of the
m3cutter threads (yrs ago, lol), you thought they were talking about 0-40, they weren't, they were talking about 10-60
