Default Just got back fro the dealer 16k service

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/15283/my_ride.t.jpg"></center><p>My dealership rocks. They put in Mobile 1 0w40 in the car. Did all the coding for the windows and doors did a throttle adaptation. They even truned my rotors and adjusted my steering wheel which was a millimeter off center. Truly amazing service, can't wait to get the call regarding service from AOA.

Default When I emailed Mobil asking where to buy 0w-40 they said...

mobilproducts@ourdataworks.com replied:

The product you mention is not available in the U.S. Mobil 1 is available in 0W-30, 5W30, 10W-30 and 15W-50 weights in the U.S.

Default Apparently this would be news to Mobil as well - I think your dealer is a little confused

Default It is available to my dealer.

Could it be that that they are a Porsche-Audi dealer? Everyone there is from Audi in Germany. They did confirm that they are importing it specifically for torbo cars and put it in at the request of the owner.

Default Mobil 1 0W-40 is a Euro product; but apparently is available at some US Porsche Dlrs

Rumored to be the current factory fill for Porsche (per posters on the 986Board

Default I saw some oil at a Pep Boys or Autozone that Mobil 1 didn't have on their site...

So I wouldn't consider their site the be-all-end-all collection of their products. The oil I saw was an oil designed specifically for turbocharged and high-compression engines. I think it was 0w30 tri-synthetic but in a greenish bottle rather then the blue for the cheap stuff and silver for the exprensive stuff.
