Went today to my local MB dealer to buy 1L Mobil1 5w-40 fully synth oil and was told : " we don-t do it anymore due to recent technical faults. We use now Shell oil "
That doesn`t sound right to me ... Why did say that !? Im not a mechanic and even refuse to know about these things BUT " recent faults" was a bit harsh. Anyway I went everywhere : Halfords- no, Asda-no, Tesco- no , Costco- no, Makro - no and few other shops - no( spent 4 hours ). That is strange. Have they stopped making this oil ? or its just me ?! I have to top up as i`m in between services( 5800k miles left ).
What do you advise me !? Shall i keep trying to find this oil ? Or do I go for a new oil change ?! It probably won`t make any difference if i top up with a different oil ( ie Castrol Edge or Shell V plus ).
Thanks
