Just changed from the Mobil1 turbo oil to the Mobil 1 15w50 for the summer. Was satisfied with it but like the 15w50 to keep my oil squirters quiet in the hot weather!

Advanced Auto Parts has a deal going on right now for 5 Quarts of Mobil1 Synthetic AND a Mobil1 Oil Filter for $26.98. The guy gave me a deal and tossed in the extra two quarts for the price of one. Cost $35 after tax.

I still use the 5w20 in the C but switched to the M1 TurboDiesel 5w40 in the S430 (0w40 or 5w40 are both approved). I also use an oversized filter on the C. The Ody has a cross member that does not allow oversizing which is a shame b/c the filter is about the size of a lawnmower filter.

You cats should consider a Filtermag and a drain bolt magnet. I have proof on the forum that they work, whether they make a difference making the engine last longer is not proven.

I also use 301. One day I was in autozone looking at the filters and looked through almost every mobil filter trying to find a longer one that fits our car. I've been using 301 for over a year.
