I do still think Mobil 1 full synthetic is the best that's locally available and as the MB dealer uses it on there better models. It's 27$ CAD for a 4.4 liter jug at our super stores when on special. For oil, we really have it good. Cheers, Derek  ps: we've both been driving for 40 years! |

some of the people in forum
Phoned local auto parts store today (not a big box) and was quoted $7.99 CAD for Mobil 1 0W - 40 per liter. under 4 British pounds( my keyboard does not have that little wiggly L ). Factory filter $10.25 It seems that someone is getting ripped off. But we also can get a fish and chip dinner for under $10
. I think shipping oil to England might be more profitable than selling drugs. Planning a trip to Jolly Old next year, might just fill the suitcase with cans of oil.
