Where is a good spot to buy the Mobil 1 15-50 (particularly in Detroit area)?
I just got back from Murray's and they don't carry it. Also, is there anything that differentiates Mobil 1 "V-twin" from the sythetic I saw there (in 5-20, etc)? I didn't see any M-1 V-Twin however. They do have Royal Purple 15W-40...good stuff too. Walmart has 5 qt jugs of M-1 15W-50 as well. |

M-1 15W-50 SilverCap is a real good product with 1200 ppm ZDDP; it is a Grade III/IV blend they say now (Group III is legally a "synthetic" these days). The 15W-50 GoldCap is PAO Grade IV..... If you change your oil frequently don't sweat it.
M-1 V-Twin 20W-50 is a PAO and has 1400+ of ZDDP...also excellent corrosion inhibitors for prolonged storage. PAO synthetics now go for close to $ 8-10/qt. Thanks, I've asked my Mobil rep twice what the differences in cap color, he had no idea. The walmart 15/50 used to be gold cap, then red, now silver. Would I be better off finding gold cap quart bottles? |

Would I be better off finding gold cap quart bottles? $ 6.00/qt. More PAO in EP = more $. GoldCap EP is designed for "Extended drains". So SilverCap and manufacturer suggested drain intervals is likely better in marine engines. I personally either use either M-1 V-Twin or Amsoil MCF or SilverCap depending on how much I want to spend. |
