Can someone confirm the below?

That "Mobil Super S [Very High Performance]" Has changed names to


"Mobil super 2000 10W40." ?

Thanks,

Yes.

Wouldn't put it in my Turbo though, would spend a bit extra and get decent oil. :thumleft:
No 2 :(

Nothing wrong with that oil, I've been using it in my turbo since '08 went I got it.

Granted though I change my oil more often than most. Every 3-4 months 8)

Ask two different people... get two different opinions.

I have been using it for a few years!

Only do about 2000 miles a year and it gets changed annually.

Another vote here for that oil, nothing wrong with using it.

As long as its the correct viscosity and a good brand, I can't see what all the fuss is about. Oil is oil - and these are on average, 20 year old technology engines
