    Question Oils for Towing

    Gentlemen
    Earlier this month I sought advice from you re: Towing. Can you now tell me the best OIL for Towing.
    Mobil reckons their 10w-40 Super S. Any suggestions should carry the appropriate acea A3/B3/B4 suitability for a Td5.
    Regards...Nifty

    Mobil 1 5-50 I reckon is excellent. The Diesel Mobil 1 Delvac is meant to be better.
    Cheers

    Personally, I think you are all wrong.

    I would use a vehicle for towing.

    I think you'll find Mobil's prime recommendation for a TD5 is Delvac 1 (5W-40, full synthetic, heavy duty diesel/commercial/mixed fleet oil)

    Arguably the best diesel oil currently blended.
