i just bought mobil1 0w40. this is my 2nd time for this engine oil. but i noticed the packaging seems different compare to mobil1 my website. US packaging also diff. so any ideas here? afraid of getting fake one.

from USA's site


from MY's site


this is the one that i bought

try MOTUL...

last time i already try motul h-tech 5w30. nothing much diff compare to castrol edge. smooth and ok

then after motul i change to mobil1 as in picture above, so this is my 2nd time to use mobil1 again, but it just recently only i noticed the packaging is diff than the one in website, thus make me wondering the status.

I suspect your Mobil 1 is of very old packing already. Kindly check the packing date printed at the back of the bottle. All the while the 0W-40 has been in FULL GOLD color, only the 5W-50 is in the silver with gold cap.

bro where should i look coz i dont find any date indication.


there are only 2d bar (818029A), barcode (5-0551707-452806), spec and etc.

I used to manage a fleet comprised of vans and cars.......


I would never in my life use Shell engine oils or waste my money on Mobil 1. during testing phase for the vans during the mid 90s , I bought the oil from a Shell petrol station myself. The van did not run well at all. I switched it out for 'other' brands until settling on Castrol.

For my money Castrol Edge 10w-60, this is used in the salesman car. All fluids changed once a year, compared to another unit which is self managed (not me) religiously on Mobil 1 0W-XX. The one on the Castrol is still running strong at 2XX,XX km (need to look at the odometer again) and the one on the mobil is currently awaiting top end overhaul work at 1XX,XX km (again need to look at the odometer to confirm).

yes you can call me a Castrol man, I dont see myself using anything else. but I stay away from the magnatec series because I prefer extended service intervals.

Do we actually need oil with grade starting from 0?

How do you actually determine a good oil to use anyways? And the different product by different brands really make a difference?
