Question Mobil synthetic anyone?
Found it at Meijer for 21 bucks and change a gallon, diesel rated 5-w40. Wonder if anyone using it, and likes/dislikes.
Thanks

If this is the Mobil Turbo Diesel Truck oil I've run it for years in our diesel car with consistently excellent UOAs. It is a very good oil and that is a good price on it.

ive used both rotilla syn and mobil 1 i think the mobil 1 held up a little better . didnt send it in for a report but it looked cleaner at 5k . either one i think is much better than regular oil .
