Hey R, didn't see youir post earlier! I was always gonna use Mobile. Infact, according to Skoda, all their new cars come from the factory with Mobile 1 as OE.
BTW, Delvac is mainly used only by heavy duty diesels as the ones in trucks or generators. For regular passenger cars, the normal Mobile 1 is used. This I got from the horse's mouth, as I email Mobile 1 itself asking what they recommended. Quote:

Hey aadix, no, i didnt see the ad, thanks for the info. I knew Mobile had bike specific oil, just didn't know they had launched it here. Quote:

Nope, didn't see that topic. But, this got me reading up about oils again and i found this very interesting link. Check it out here
You can count me as one of the ppl who was taken in by the marketing! But this test shows that auto oils work just as well as the so call bike specific oils. Quote:

I am happy with Power 1. With all due respect, I don't really take what a lot of xbhp members say very seriously. I have been using Power 1 since my first service and am happy with it.
The main thing is to change your oil regularly. There is no substitute for this!
