Default If you can get it... Mobil 1 0-40 Tri synthetic...
container notes "meets engine performance requirements of Audi, BMW, MB..." Some also use Mobil 1 5-30 SuperSyn

Default There is a debate if the new Mobil 1 is truely synthetic.
The thought is it comes from a non synthetic base.

Default I wouldnt use Mobil 1 period...its not what it use to be...
Mobil like Castrol isnt a true base 4 synthetic anymore.... if you want a good oil use either AMSOIL or REDLINE... the mobil 1 tri formula isnt hugely different than a standard dino synthetic blended oil...dont believe the marketing and hype...theres better oils out there... as for grade... 0w30 or 5w30 or 10w30 are all great...

Umm... you sure about this? They would be falsely advertising then.
