I'm in the UK and was thinking of a well known UK high street store brand of fully synthetic oil that I have been using for my Saab 1993 9000 CSE 2.0 LPT. This oil comes in 5 litres whereas Mobil 1 comes in 4 litres bottles. Taking the differences in volume into account, I think that "half price" is not far off, but admittedly I'll have to check it out. My car has done 81000 miles, but still runs as new, so I have no intention of using an inferior oil. However, I rather change the oil more frequently than using an expensive oil such as Mobil 1. As said before, the oil satisfies API SJ/CF ACEA A3/B3 which is more than Saabs requirements. I never let the engine overheat or trashing it in any other ways. So let me put your on the spot: Why exactly is Mobil 1 better?
