Re: Mobil 1 Extended Performance 10W-40 SuperSyn Fully Synthetic

Hi all,

I'm a new BMW owner, so, have a couple of questions, would like to ask the gurus here...

At this point, I am still running in the car (E90 320) and have clocked about 1700km... I am intending to change oil (and filter) at the 5k mark, without resetting the service interval.

I have heard of this new oil, called Titanium Plus, which is a 5W-50 oil, blended by a local firm called Texas Petrolchemical Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. Costs S$70/ litre, (which is relatively expensive) but has claims of improving fuel efficiency and even horsepower and torque. More details at www.texaslub.com

My questions are these:
(1) Has any brudder (or sister) here heard of this oil? If yes, anyone here has tried it? Any feedback regarding it?

(2) Since the oil cannot be bought off the shelf, and oil change must be done at their approved workshops, any issues with warranty / servicing with PML?

(3) I have read the various postings of oil here, and am quite confused regarding the appropriate time to change oil. PML recommends following the service interval as determined by the car's BC. While some brudders recommend changing at regular intervals (i.e. 10k mark) or half the service interval. So, which is which??? I just want to take good care of my engine, so, any recommendations? Follow the service interval or not?

(4) Lastly, which oil do you guys use most for our weather?

Thanks for all who take the time to answer my quries.

Cheers,
Larry

Re: Mobil 1 Extended Performance 10W-40 SuperSyn Fully Synthetic

The Texas Oil cost $70/ litre ??? 5 Litre cost $350 ??? No matter how good the oil is, it, cannot offset the cost for being fuel efficient.

Your car now runs on grade 30 oil, and most probably Castrol.

Try Mobil 1 0W-40 which i think it's a good oil or any other big name and u will not go wrong. And for warranty issue, go to the few workshop that is recommended here and u shouldnt go wrong since changing oil is a simple job.

I practice changing oil in between the Service Interval aka ard every 10k km, but I am sure the ar is not going to breakdown if u change it at every 25k according to the clock.

U will also feel that the car runs smoother if u change oil at every 10k instead of 25k.

Cheers....
