Nopes never heard of it, we get Shell, Motul & Mobil1(being the other name for synthetic in the country, people are like synthetic boleytoh Mobil1 )

Are diesel and petrol engine oils same.

Should i pick up Mobil1 5W50 API SM for Peted Swift running around 100kms a day in Mumbai?

Where are the expert oil dealers(tsk and Rtech) when you need them the most

Only place i've heard of amsoil is here ... Car Bibles : The Engine Oil Bible

[cyneverdie]

anyone who truly loves driving...and can afford it.... , move to mobil 1 ......
for driving excellence as stated at the back of me 4 lt jerrycan of 5w50 api sm...... super smooth driving experience everytime.....

i do pay 4000 rs for it...recently found a guy selling it for 26 in mumbai.... been trying to contact mobil 1 india to verify....
go to
mobil.co.in
mobil1 india toll free no s are there

just to say my mobil 1 's made in france...lovely aint it.....

every must use full synthetic.....you just have to try it to see for yourself

i drive a swift by the way
+ give the mobil 1 3000 km to really get working.... at least for neww users...

get a good engine flush and do use a k&n oil filter.... i highly suggest a full car engine decarb + injector cleaning and a new fuel filter and new plugs before that oil change.....all for full performance potential

alot of people here buy from city motors, opera house. i dont think it would be fake if soo many people buy it from there. and that too for rs.2600.

you can speak to mobil 1 yourself.
mobil.co.in
contact their toll free nos. it's 1800 not 1600. the number is wrongly listed.

he told me it's not possible for it to be 2600 officially [with taxes]. so it's either fake or an unofficial import like i said.

i rather pay upto 900 rs more [including tax] for official mobil 1.

you know people who have bought it fom shetty or city motors [ both are official bardahl] ? ?? any idea where the oil was made??should be given at the back of the jerry can.

no not all oils can be run with both petrol and diesel
5w50 can be though
Mobil 1 5W-50

highly reccomend it. new api sm. make sure you get it officially. lots of fakes and unofficial oil around town.

[Akshay1234]

cyneverdie - ask busa, sam kapasi, rtech. i think they have all bought stuff from there.

[BUSA]

Yup akshay bought from Opera house, not fake.
