Mobil 1 is on sale on Amazon free shipping and no sales tax.

Walmart's regular price for a 5 qt jug of Gold Cap is $27.00, and Silver Cap is $22.00.

Never found M1 0W-40 (the one that is approved for MB) in jugs, but 1 qt bottles are about $6.27 regular price at Walmart.

Napa has Mobile 1 for $5 or so a few times a year, thats better than the almost $8 at Amazon.

If you don't need 0-40, Costco has a 6 pack of Mobile 1 for about $26 a few times a year with a $10 off coupon.

Amazon is good for a lot of things, but oil, at least this deal really isn't.

The only time I would buy oil from amazon would be if you could not get it in a store. I know they have royal purple cheaper on amazon then in the store but besides that, I can't think of any others.

Motor oil is something that helps keep engine parts lubricated and running in good condition. Most cars hold about 5 quarts of oil at any given time and it's recommended that you replace or change your motor oil every 3000-4000 miles.

Usually I just buy my oil from walmart just because when I think of buying it I need it that day and waiting on Amazon to ship it out really isn't possible. I guess if you are like most people and think of ahead you could save a few bucks getting it online. Kind of funny how Amazon started out selling books only and now they just about anything you can think of including auto parts. I can only imagine the type of money they are making.

I tried to buy Brembo rotors on Amazon and they send me wrong size.
I complained and they immediately send me second set OF THE SAME WRONG SIZE.
I was impressed with fast shipping, but they don't even read what the complain is about. Their database for matching part with car MY has errors and nobody cares about correcting them.
Now for my diesel I want the best and I am buying M1 ESP Formula M.
That thing is not available at most of chain stories, cost arm and leg on the net, but we do have local supplier having 3 places in the county where sale people are former mechanics not the kids that dropped out of HS. They have the oil for $6.99.

It will work, but technology moves forward and we are in 21 Century for few years already.
My 12 years old MB has manual specifying SE/CD oil requirements.
12 years ago Mercedes oil specifications didn't exist. Than MB start diagnose of oil market and gave their recommendations. With those oils your engine will run better and last longer.
So legally I can drive on basically any oil on the market, but since I care, I go for better stuff available.
You wouldn't go back to using hand-crank calculator, would you?

your not comparing apples to apples.
the only difference is the weight: mobil1 5w-30 or 5w-40 which meens it will thicken to up to 40w oil when it gets hot. i'm not saying to use old school penzoil 20w-50 conventional oil, i said mobil 1. i don't know any place in January-February that has harsh enough weather to require 40w oil. my low temps are 45 and highs are 60 degrees....ideal for 5w-30

Do the bottles of any oil you use read "Approved Mercedes Benz Specification MB229.5". Otherwise, it may be a great Mobil 1 but not the European Formula to meet ACEA B4 Specification. This is the only spec recognized for MB high performance today's gas engines.

The rest (pick of viscosity) is according to the locale and SAE specs, so 0W40, 5W30, 5W40 are all OK as long as the oil is to the ACEA aforementioned spec.

hey JoeVal, i did look at the bottles, and they do have the ACEA stamp. i did not realize there was such a difference in good synthetic oil, and i thought mobil 1 was one of the best. i have a 07 Vette, and 05 H2, and they both call for mobil 1, so i figured it was fine for the cls. i appreciate the heads up on the oil. :thumbsup:

I just go to my local parts store. Advance Autoparts has a deal on mobile1 5 quarts and filter for 26. So I buy that plus extra oil BMW, and the filter gets used on my GTO.
