C 240 Elegance | With the Regina winter temps dropping to -40, wouldn't you prefer the 0W/40 Mobil 1 that MB recommend in Canada.
That 5W/50 Mobil 1 seems great for summer use but I've never seen it on the shelf. Is there an 800 # ? | |

| I saw it at Canadian Tire in Calgary as well, not that cheap though.
CT didn't even have the 0W-40, I had to go to NAPA, cost me $11.00/litre.
Any Canadian users that have found Mobil 1 0W-40 for cheaper?
And what's the difference between 229.3 & 229.5? | |

| The Mobil1 web site does NOT have a listing for 5W50, but is DOES show up in this 12/18/07 Product Guide Table as a Mobil1 oil.
