As usual, the house will argue and argue and still agree to disagree. If an engine is still putting out optimal or close to factory performance, use the recommended oil - short and simple! If your engine has seen better days and nearing the end of its run cycle, it makes no economic sense whatsoever to use expensive oils for lubrication. 3 Likes |

Eddee:You should also note that these oil manufacturers have specially formulated oils for even the engines that has seen better days as you said. Those with better protection and besides, manufacturers do have a reason for not saying you should choose cheaper or heavier oils if engine is close to end of its run cycle in the manual. |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by sacramento1212: 2:38pm On Nov 20, 2019 |
shortgun: Oga, you own and maintain your car. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If your method works best for you, go ahead and allow those without their right senses continue to stick to 0w40. If their engine gets bad you won't fix it for them and if yours get bad, we won't fix it for you. 3 Likes 1 Share |

shortgun: I have never used a Mobil 1 on any of my benz at least this is the second benz I am driving and none of the engine has packed up ... Benz build their engine to last and beside that why use a Mobile 1 in a car that is above 10 yrs old... That is just madness! The friction in the engine is higher and needs a heavier oil ... Well what do they know .... Mobil 1 is light oil, it dries up and it's design for cars that their engine is less than 4 yrs old .... Everytime Mobil 1 .. they wouldn't let is heat word Like say na only them dey drive car... My own is buy a good oil , it is good ... Do you know that forte has one of the best oils around and that is what I have been using for over 6 yrs on the C class and the engine has never shaken , never opened the engine for a day.... |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by AmuDimpka: 5:20pm On Nov 20, 2019 |
shortgun:If your car is above 100k kilometers... Using Mobil 1 is just waste of money ... It would dry up faster and it might destroy your piston... Physics 101 Get a high mileage oil...Forte has it. High-mileage oils are specially formulated for older vehicles or newer vehicles with over 100,000 kilometres on the odometer. High mileage oils, with a special blend of additives and formulation, helps to reduce burn-off of engine oil and concurrently helps to prevent oil leaks that may occur in older or high-mileage engines. |

AmuDimpka: Big man, I understand you perfectly, at least we are both very practical men. Although your 100k odometer analogy is a bit off. Now take a look at both attached pictures (daily drivers); Lexus IS is at 159,510 km (almost at 100k miles on the dot), Merc E320 is at 376,527 km (236k miles or so). Lexus still runs on factory recommended oil, Merc runs on 15w50, thinking of changing to 20w50 if oil shortage intervals increase beyond the current threshold. Irrespective of popular opinion or expert advise - I'm not going to replace or repair/rebuild anything, that engine go work him money complete, but you see that IS? Na only fresh Mobil 1/Castrol we go give am until him cheap engine decide kaput too. **abeg make una pretend say una no see the Lexus TRAC and VSC wahala. As well as my speed sensor issues wer don activate ESP/ABS malfunctions for Benz. As for SRS na normal thing.
