    40 Hour Deadline - Mobil Delvac 1 20L

    Hello all,

    I'm still going ahead with the Delvac 1 group buy, 20L containers at the quoted price of $213.50 inc. GST.

    There is still room for about 4 or 5 more people.

    It can be collected from me, I can also deliver it into the inner/eastern suburbs of Melbourne. For regional Victorians interested, there is already a couple of orders and I will be meeting people at Seymour, Euroa, Benalla, or Wangaratta.

    For further details, or to order, PM me. (by 3PM Monday 24th)

    Please check http://www.datateck.com.au/lube/mobil_au/ for applications.

    Good for farms, suits Tdi/Td5 as well as machinery produced by Fendt, Case, New Holland, Hitachi, JCB, Caterpillar, Mercedes-Benz


    *I am not affiliated with Mobil, just a satisfied user of Delvac for 20,000k and keen to share an excellent price.

    Some buy to price, some buy to a standard.

    "...Delvac 1 has provided excellent service at up to four times the normal drain interval under these conditions. We also have closely monitored and controlled fleets performing Mobil Delvac 1 oil drains at up to 100,000 miles..." - http://www.mobildelvac.com/USA-Engli...ne_Oil_FAQ.asp

    What standard would that be? "Controlled Fleets"

    Overpriced, over rated oil is not basis for purchase quality arguments...

    We have oil testing facilities I utilise here...
    And the HPR is holding up perfectly after its correct service interval. And when ran to 25,000 was still in spec...

    Pouring $100+ dollars of oil into an engine when you are going to drain it ON TIME as part of a service schedule is amusing. Especially since the Penrite product is performing perfectly at that time.

    From another friend of mine....
    You know, with "age" comes wisdom.
    I've spent almost 2 decades in labs and test facilities, developing lubricants of all kinds, including synthetics for a major oil company. What I regularly read about lubricants on several forums makes me laugh and show me how marketing campaigns, advertising and the use of comforting buzz words can influence people and skew their buying power and opinion toward what seems to be (for them) the ultimate products.
    During my career, we have tested thousands of lubricants, thousands of miracle recipes, we've tortured engines and transmission like nobody in their right mind would want to replicate in real life, we ran thousands of fleet tests with all sorts of oils, we've worked with hundreds of engineers at Ford, Chrysler, GM, Toyota, Honda BMW and all others.
    How about running a real Nascar race car with recycled Dino oil? We've done it with no problem.
    When was the last time you heard about an engine problem due to engine oil breakdown. When was the last time you heard of a premature engine failure due to poor lubrication? (assuming prescribed oil change intervals were adhered to.)
    One word of wisdom: Change you oil as prescribed, use the recommended grade for the driving conditions and buy
    whatever make available that fits your budget.
    If a $1.99/qt engine oil meets the above, you're OK.

    --> Td5 engines with engine oil pump bolt fault... that was the last time I heard about premature engine failure due to poor lubrication

    --> D1 fits my budget.
