Yep!I hope all will at that price.
Mobil 1 0w-40 European Car Formula is what they label it. It is MB 229.5 approved. Good for 2001 - 2006 NAFTA OM612 and OM647 2.7L 5 cylinder engines.What's the European formula? I checked the local WalMart and they had 10-40 and 15-50 in a 5qt. jug.
I short-cut Mobil-1 0-40 European Formula to "0-40". I also short-cut Chevorn Delo to "Delo". I don't know if there is a Chevron Delo 0-40.surlyoldbill,
You wrote:
"Delo needs to be changed every 10k, the 0-40 can go up to 25k (I change at 15k). In the long run, the 0-40 is actually cheaper to purchase, and MUCH better for your engine; so even cheaper to operate by reducing, preventing or minimizing repairs."
OK, are you saying that 0w-40 Chevron Delo is MUCH BETTER for your engine.....or the other way around.... Mobil1 European Car Formula 0W-40 full synthetic is better?
Kind hard to tell as you only refer to it as 0w-40.
There are non Chevron "Delo" oils on the MB BEVO 229.5.
Also, for Vic,
The Mobil 1 5W-40 Emissions Systems Protection (ESP) is Formula M and as you suggest it's low ash (actually low SPASH) and is IMHO
the preferred engine oil for the OM-642 V6 3.0 liter Sprinters ('07-'13).

It was a Walmart in western Kentucky. Also there are some reports of big jugs spotted at Walmarts in South Dakota.On my various trips across the country I have only seen the euro 0w-40 in SuperWalmarts and never in the regular Walmarts.
Good to hear a 5-qt jug was spotted. Which store?

C'mon Ciprian,
You know all too well that you're being too much of a straight man for me to resist.
I think that I remember seeing those at Walmart.
