Mobil 1 5w-50 The Rally Formula

Post by dodgydave » Fri Jul 29, 2005 1:04 pm

Guys,

My RS4, which I recently bought in Germany, is running this type of Mobil 1 oil from day one. It’s available in every shop across Europe except in the UK.
Funnily, the only place in the UK selling it is ASDA. But after I tried every ASDA in east London and failed to get this Oil I called ASDA CS and they told me that they only have this oil at ASDA Super Centers, which you commonly find in the Midlands.

Please if anyone goes to their ASDA Super Center have a check if they’ve got the Oil there and drop me a line.

Btw: I tried ordering online but ASDA doesn’t deliver in my area. ;-(

Cheers,
Dave

Noop! They not selling any Mobil 1 stuff according to their website. Also, I checked directly with ExxonMobil and they said ASDA is the sole distubitor in the UK!

I didn't even know there was a 5w50, I thought the only 50 was a 15w50. I'll keep an eye out though.

My local Halfords was selling it last time I was there. The Halfords website is not very good and doesn't cover everything that the shops stock.
