Mobil 1 10w-30 fully synth

Post by biscuitsbrown »

G'day peeps

does anyone supply or know of anyone or anywhere who can supply MOBIL 1 10w-30 Fully Sythetic engine oil as its fairly new from Mobil 1 but as usual the UK always seems to be the last to get it!?!

I've tries Halfords, Partco, Uni-part, Autosave, even Toyota but nowhere seems to be able to get hold of it!

Please let me know, greatly appreciated, regards Stu

:D

Wrong market

I think you'll find that Mobil 1 10W-30 isn't marketed in the UK. That might explain why it's so hard to find. If you want to run with M1 then consider 15W-50... but it's not cheap stuff. Worth it though in my oppinion, as engines are expensive... oil and filters are cheap. :)

If you don't own a Turbo, perhaps go for something in a semi-synth flavour. Cheaper too.

Regards,

Jonty.

Hi Jonty,

Cheers for takin the time to reply mate! Yeah I guess you're probably right, its obviously not available here I've tried everywhere! I ended up gettin Mobil 1 15w-50 which is what i've been using up to now, just wanted to stick the Toyota Japan's recommended 10w-30 in but hey, I want doesn't always get I guess! :cry:

I always use Fully Synth wouldn't dream of using anything else for a turbo!

Regards Stu :D
