Thread: Do you use Mobil oil ?

I use mobil synthetic and get it from the local mobil supplied petrol station. It is about $30 cheaper than at Repco for 5 ltrs.

I called Castrol and asked them where to get 20L of RX Super and they said any Autobarn, Repco etc. I called my closest Autobarn and they don't even stock RX Super. Said they had Penrite in 10L but that was it.

The cheapest place I have found to get RX Super in Brissie is QLD diesel spares.

I have never experienced a problem with the quality of castrol diesel oil.

I run Mobil Delvac 1 in the Disco - bought it from Repco in Kalgoorlie (at an exorbitant cost). Next time - will buy the same but Caterpillar labelled in 20 litre drum from Westrac.

My son runs nothing but Penrite in his RX7.

For the wife's car, and many others in the past, have always used Castrol oils with never a problem.

I grabbed a couple of 5l bottles of Mobil diesel oil and he told me to put them back and grab the Repco brand as it is Mobil oil with a Repco sticker and $10 a bottle cheaper. I don't mind saving $20 where i can .

Mate, It may be packed by Mobil but it is made to Repco specifications. The important thing is to check and make sure the specifications comply with what the manufacturer calls for. The "generic" brands usually have a lower additive package than the recognised main stream brands - hence the cheaper price tag. It comes back to the old addage - you get what you pay for.

if you are silly enough to change oil brands after TWELVE YEARS,,
you get what you deserve,,,

So you have never changed brands of any kind over the years ?

once,,

I went from RX super to HPR30 in the old disco,,
4 years on the RX, 6 on HPR,

ONLY because the RX wouldnt last 5000kays,

The Brumby we own has been run exclusively on GTX since new,, thats 20 years,, and not about to change,,
have run the new disco on HPR10 since purchase,,
dont know what was used before,, does that count as a change?

SuperCheap does stock 20 litre drums of Castrol RX amongst other brands ...watch out for specials they occassionally run on these - they can be quite a good deal.
