Dwoon 1st Gear May 30, 2007 Share May 30, 2007 I used mine till 10K km & also during my trip to Kuantan & Melaka. Covered quite a distance at "highway" speeds & it didn't let me down. So cheap doesn't mean no good in this case. Unless, the margain from selling engine oil is actually on the high side. Regards, =================== I guess u can get some pretty cheap & good oils out there but u must have good lobangs like MCF. Major mark-ups r mainly for A&P budget which can add maybe 50% to the price. I stopped buying those "branded" & expensive oils long ago. Got branded and not so expensive Mobil 1 for sale occasionally in Giant or Carrefour. $9.90/quart bottle. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky2007 Turbocharged May 30, 2007 Share May 30, 2007 the last time i saw these mobil 1 selling cheap at those hypermart, they are semi-synthetic.. lets compare apple to apple. if u look hard enuf in MCF, they are plenty of mobil 1 fully synthetic selling at $12-14 per quart as well.

Dwoon 1st Gear May 30, 2007 Share May 30, 2007 Those M1 that were on offer are fully syn, not semi-syn. Which grades were you looking at? The most recent had 0W-40 & 0W-30. Don't think I saw the 5W-30 this time round. Exactly the same as shown here in the link. You saying these are semi-synthetic? http://mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Oils/Mobil_1.aspx It says here it is fully syn http://mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/O...FAQs.aspx#FAQs1 I've not seen any Mobil 1 semi-syn or blend for sale at our hypermarts thus far. The semi-syn or blend is "Mobil Clean 7500". And "Mobil Clean 5000" is a conventional oil if I'm correct. Please enlighten. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopus 3rd Gear May 30, 2007 Share May 30, 2007 (edited) Last day is sunday right? Park at the hdb car park and walk over lor. 5mins walk only. Free some more. No need to spend 15mins queueing up to enter the AMK Hub carpark. no leh , it say 24may to 6jun07 . 24 May till 6 June promo @ NTUC AMK is a new bottle (C@rlube 5w40 5L) different from GIANT promo - Triple R C@rlube 5w40 5L - RED Label. Both are different bottle in term of shape but then Specs are the SAME I just goggle it and think they are different..... same website but they having different barcode and stock code... C-lube 5w40 triple R fully synthetic motor oil: http://www.*.co.uk/index.cfm?product=73 C-lube 5w40 fully synthetic motor oil: http://www.*.co.uk/index.cfm?product=68 Can't find the data sheet, but seems like the triple R is a more updated one cos its API SM rated....

Kelpie 2nd Gear May 31, 2007 Share May 31, 2007 Got branded and not so expensive Mobil 1 for sale occasionally in Giant or Carrefour. $9.90/quart bottle. This one is a hot seller. When the promotion is on, I will surely get myself some. This lead me to believe that branded engine oil in SG are overpriced. Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since I'm on RP at abt $6/qt & c@r lube which is even cheaper, I don't need Mobil 1 any more. RP is a very good oil but since it's getting more & more expensive, I'll give it a miss the next time. Edited May 31, 2007 by Pisces69 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortoise777 Neutral Newbie June 8, 2007 Share June 8, 2007 Went to Giant on 31/5, the C**lube 10W40 price was set back to the original $4x+ Was there just now, surprised to see the $29.90 "as advertised" price tag. Side by side with the Mobil $12.90 promotion. But it seems not much stocks left on the shelf... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
