[MBZ] [Fwd: I give up on Mobil-1]
Original Message Subject: I give up on Mobil-1 Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2006 19:42:40 -0400 From: dave walton [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] While running errands today I stopped in a 2 Wallmarts and 2 Advance Auto stores and NONE of them had ANY Mobil-1 0W-40, 15W-50 OR 5W-40. As much as I know you guys out there like Mobil-1, it just is not worth my effort any more. So I go over to the Amsoil site and see a selection of synthetics to choose from. Given my current mood, I'm inclined to buy a 30 gallon jug and be done with it and let Mobil rot in hell where they belong. Does anyone have a recommendation as to which Amsoil is best? Thanks -Dave Walton 94S350, 99E300

I thought the WalMart house brand was a wine -- isn't the name Chateau de TrailerTrash? On 6/29/06, Kaleb C.

You should look for Delvac 1 at truck stops (NOT Delo!). That is the commercial large truck Mobil synthetic oil, and it will work perfectly. Peter

Same here. Not even the Auto Stores have the M-1 Diesel oil. Next change Im going back to Delo 400, at least I know I can get it just about everywhere, especially Costco. M-1 is not worth the time and trouble for me and I just go back to 2000-3000 mile oil changes. Walt Lasher Seattle W140 S350
Re: [MBZ] [Fwd: I give up on Mobil-1]
Walt, Down at the Southern end of your State Wally world is selling Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15W-40 Diesel Oil for $8 a gallon - meets Mercedes 228.3 spec. I picked some up for my tractors if I can not get M1 15W-50 for the cars I'll probably just use this. Pass thru Seattle once or twice a week need to find time for that coffee we talked about some 2 - 3 years back.

LT Don wondered: Ok, who on here is the Embryo-sol dealer? Might be able to get some mail order business. I think Johnny B sells it... Some guy at work has been pinging on me to start selling it... Bob Rentfro

I suspect Mobil 1 products are available at the service stations that work on the 18 wheeler tractors - being close to I-95, there are 3 that I know of within a 20 mi area -- Larry T (67 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs Porsche Road Test http://members.rennlist.com/roadtest/ . - Original Message - From: Peter Frederick [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2006 10:51 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] [Fwd: I give up on Mobil-1] You should look for Delvac 1 at truck stops (NOT Delo!).

Re: [MBZ] [Fwd: I give up on Mobil-1]
The WM brand seems very thin. I wouldn't run any of thier 5 grade. Have seen a couple motors with spun bearings during a race.I presume due to the oil foaming(very high RPM) and losing viscosity.
