Wall Mart? You won't find Mobile 7500 at Wall Mart either.
The relabeling is quite confusing... if you READ THE LABEL the correct stuff will say 5W40. (The wrong stuff is the T&SUV that says 5W30)SnowCub said:How do I tell if its the "new" variety? But then I'm in East, Mass.
I got tired of trying to find the T&SUV / Turbo Diesel stuff so I made an executive decision to change to Mobil 1 0w-40. At least I can always find that at several different stores. I don't have to hold my breath as I head down the oil aisle at Walmart, hoping that it's actually in stock.brucep said:BTW.... the Mobil1 0W40 actually says it is VW505.00 approved!! (among some other VW approvals)
i use the mobil 1 0w40 in my 03 beetle 2.0 gas engine.HAL9000 said:I got tired of trying to find the T&SUV / Turbo Diesel stuff so I made an executive decision to change to Mobil 1 0w-40.

I've read about that in more than a couple threads. My '01 barely uses oil. I think I was going thru two thirds of a quart of Mobil D1 in 10k miles. So far, after the first 1,000 miles with the 0w-40, I haven't noticed any oil loss on the dip stick. I will keep a close eye on things 'til determine a trend...Audi5000TDI said:I used the mobil 1 0w-40 505.00 oil in my 1996 passat... Fuel mileage was excellent, but oil consumption past the turbo seal was quite high... a quart every 2000, versus about every 4500 to 5000 with the Rotella T synthetic.
It will say Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40. It SHOULD say Turbo Diesel Truck & Car!whitedog said:Just got back from Wally World here in bend and they still have the not right stuff. What I would be looking for would say Turbo diesel, correct?
Knowing Mobil, they will probably introduce a separate "Turbo Diesel Car" oil which is basically the same thing in a different bottle.TornadoRed said:It will say Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40. It SHOULD say Turbo Diesel Truck & Car!
According to the weather man here it is "Halfway through April today and still snow." Good thing I changed to summer tires last weekend.Sleet said:Halfway through April today and still no show....
