Mobil 1 Truck & SUV

Mobil 1 Truck & SUV
Mobil 1 Truck & SUV Formula provides outstanding protection for gasoline and diesel engines. It has been proven in some of the most extreme, heavy-duty performance testing.

Benefits of Mobil 1 Truck & SUV Formula 5W-40:

* Helps protect hard-working engines in high temperatures and delivers outstanding cold-start protection.
* Has exceptional resistance to low-temperature sludge build-up and high-temperature varnish deposits to help keep engines running clean and long.
* Has outstanding wear protection to help extend the life of critical wear surfaces.
* Meets and exceeds the most stringent U.S., European and Japanese industry and engine-builder specifications and approvals, including: - API SL/SJ for gasoline engines. - API CI-4/CH-4/CG-4/CF-4/CF for diesel engines.
* Meets diesel engine requirements of Cummins, Powerstroke, Duramax and Navistar where API CI-4 is required.

Price: $6.49 Per quart

5 quart avalable at Wal-Mart about $20.00


SO YOU SEE ....tHERE IS A DIFFERANCE JUST LOOK AT THE PRICE

The price per quart is about the same. Do the math. And yes it's the same oil.

I seem to recall that someone spoke to an engineer at Mobil about the two oils. Naturally he could never say they were "identical" but his hedging of the discussion seemed to conclude same.

Has anyone said that we can run Mercedes diesels for 100k miles, NO.

Mobil Delvac 1 and Mobil Truck & SUV are the same oil, a very very good oil. Get off of it already.
