Is this the Mobil 1 Oil rated at MB229.51 spec? I just picked this up in the states for $6.13 a quart at the Merc Benz dealer in NF NY.

Wally world had the Mobil TDT Diesel Oil for $36.XX in Ajax.
No, I don't think so, web site says it has this Benz rating.
Mercedes Benz 228.31, 228.3

The Wally closes to home had Mobil TDT for $42.xx couple months ago but the last time I was there, they were all gone.

I just bought a 4 x 4 case of Mobil Delvac 1 0W40 from Paul Lizotte Fuels in Sudbury. It cost $6.79 / litre plus HST, for a total of $123.67.

$27 per 4 litre jug plus HST.

It's a CJ4 oil and used to be branded as Esso XD3 Extra.

So Gary, this is what the XD3 0w40 turned into? Also, were you up in Sudbury? I know he closed up shop in Barrie, closest place now is Huntsville if I'm not mistaken.

Esso XD3 Extra and Mobil D1 is the same oil, Bill, just repackaged. Lizotte delivers to Barrie. Just have to make arrangements.

Could you give me an address, phone number and name contact. I need get one too.

You are serious 20,000 miles change oil? I understand that VW recommend change on 10,000KM.

Let me know.

Thx

10,000 miles, 16,000kms is the standard OCI. Some of us that run almost all highway have extended that to 20-25k.. But don't take our word for it, get a OA done and make your own decisions based upon that.
