Delvac1 not mobil1
for years the only oil available from mobil1 in a 5w40 (in north america) was delvac1 5w40. it is diesel and gasoline engine rated . better still it was not energy saving rated, and at one time still had the higher levels of antiwear desired for good camshaft life.
i have a 99 passat 1.8T that ran exclusively on it for 250,000 km,
the mobil1 5w40 diesel rated oil may be okay, but you need to do some of your own homework and start reading and comparing what oils are recommended and what the oil of choice is offering , lastly
please lets not make blanket statements about something without checking first... the mobil1 diesel 5w40 may be nor in tune with what a porsche needs ....
i'm looking for a3 ratings
