I moved to Pennzoil Platinum Euro Full Synthetic 5w-40 with fantastic results... MPG increase by at least 1 mpg. 2.1L motor. Based on this review via Project Farm, I feel it will have a better life over time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWuKvnCq1js Jack -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Tom C Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2022 8:40 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Engine oil Hey guys, Mobile 1 15w-40 is getting hard to find locally. What do you guys think of the diesel oils like this the shell rotella stuff like this https://www.autozone.com/motor-oil-and-transmission-fluid/engine-oil/p/shell-rotella-t6-diesel-engine-oil-hd-full-synthetic-15w-40-1-gal/354130_0_0 32.99 for 5 quarts is way cheaper than the 9.99 a quart for the mobile 1. I don’t mind paying the extra but if this diesel oil is just as good may as well save a few bucks. Thanks for any comments. Peace tom |
