Sempiternal Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Hi im buying all the servicing parts i need tomorrow to do it diy and save a bunch of money from labour costs (DW i believe im a decent hobbyist mechanic ) anyways after reading far too many reviews on the ole interweb, im going with Mobil but here is the catch which one, after putting my reg in the halfords oil finder its thrown up these choices -- £23.99 Mobil - Super 3000 x1 formula 5/30 5L Fully Synth or £41.59 Mobil 1 ESP formula 5/30 5L Fully synth For occasional weekend/sunny day cruising.. argh choices Rob Edited January 9, 2014 by Sempiternal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 For cruising about it's not going to make much odds. Give CS or Clarks Motorsports a shout, they'll see you right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Must admit I agree with Kyle. Mobil 1 is by far the better stuff, but if you don't really stress the engine to the fullest then putting the cheaper stuff in is okay. I run that in the MR2.

Sempiternal Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Thanks for the reply guys. I guess il go with mobil 1 beings im saving on labour costs doing it myself I guess I can spend a lil more.. I live in walking distance to sure parts who supply all the local garages. So I guess im going straight to the distributer. No doubt their have all the other service parts.. im just googling the correct ngk plugs. But no doubt their computer will match just fine.

zed 1990 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 i use Mobil 1 ESP formula 5/30 5L Fully synth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolzz Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I see most people here use 5-30. I'm surprised that 5-40 or 5-50 (also Mobil for example) are not more common, as we are talking about a sports car.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsexr Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 i use Mobil 1 ESP formula 5/30 5L Fully synth Same for me as i have a trade card for halfords and it makes it a reasonable price for a drop of the good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
