Primairly Mobil-1, some Shell Rotella-T, now Total/Elf Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Fri, 17 Oct 2008 06:40:08 In Reply to: What brand 5w40?, robp, Fri, 17 Oct 2008 06:24:23 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I primarily used Mobil-1 "Turbo Diesel Truck & SUV" labeled oil, and ocassionally Shell Rotella-T when I could not find any Mobil-1 locally.
I am now using Total/Elf because it is almost $1/bottle less than Mobil-1 in my area, and I have to stop by the Import Car Parts place anyway to get the Total/Elf 0W/30 which meets the Saab-Opel oil specs for my wife's 9-3SC anyway. This weight is nealy $2/bottle less than Mobil-1 equivalent and I love their 5 litre jug for that car's 6 litre sump!
Shell Rotella-T is even less expensive than the Total oil, but since I use a larger filter and Total is packaged in one litre bottles, I buy the Total brand for my 9-5 too.
