hey, its time for my baby to get a new oil, i'm goin to get mobil 1 synthetic, but the problem is which one? i'm living in california so i think i need help about which oil i should get
thanks

 

You know what, it's not worth the $ to spend on synthetic oil for a standard engine, turbo, yes, regular engine, no. I use "regular" Mobile One oil, 10W-30 from Wal-Mart. More power to ya if you want to use synthetic, but it's really not worth it and not necessary.

 

yea, i second what Jason said.

but id recommend getting 10W 30, maybe even 5W 30 since its generally warm over there right?

 

10W-30 is all you need, keep in mind too that all oil comes from the same hole in the ground and has the same additives.

 

hmm...coz i've been using synthetics for all my car back in indo, it feel totally diffrent with standard oils, is the 10w-30 synthetic or standard???

 

10w-30 is the viscosity. Brand and type determines synthetic or "natural".

what bout this

Mobil 1 10W-30, Multi-vehicle Formula, is the most advanced performance synthetic engine oil designed to provide the maximum cleaning power, wear protection and performance reserve to keep engines all types of cars running smooth and clean. Mobil 1 10W-30 exceeds the requirements of the industry standards required for both new and older gasoline and diesel powered automobile engines. Mobil 1 10W-30 is approved for all type of vehicle models and types of driving.

 

So is regular oil.

 

10W-30 Synthetic for all my cars, ever.

 

We have these things called dates. If you bothered to check the one for this thread, you'd notice that it said "2003". This means that this thread is 7 years old, ie. you comment was absolutely useless.
