Just been to pick some Mobil 1 15/50 from halfords, and it rung up as £27.19 on the till. Price marked was 33.95 but who am I to argue.
Probably the same nationwide, worth checking if you are gonna be doing an oil change this weekend

And how was it being driven after the service ( who serviced it, and did they definatley use Mobil ? )
With the engines that have **** big ends, what was the condition of the other bearings in the engine when it was taken apart? Where the mains and big ends bad, or just the actual bearing that failed?

ustole...
Subaru dealer, FsSH car
Mobil motorsport 15/50
Hard driven at the time, but always allowed to idle & cool down
Couldn't repair the bits - needed new short engine
ie Nothing differently was done other than using 15/50 Mobil for the first time - I have a theory that it doesn't 'coat' the engine
in the Subaru as well as other 'magnetic' oils

Talking of services and then blown engines.....
I have had a couple of instances after minor services where the oil (Subaru stuff) just vanishes if I do long, hard journeys.
The oil level goes from just under full to below the low mark.
Thinking its some terminal problem, I top up with Mobil motorsport.. and then have no problem until the next service.
WTF is going on?

4.5 litres for a std turbo.
You should never mix synthetic oil brands, you must use what the dealer used at the service, alternatively bring in mobil 1 for your dealer to use at the service.

just recorded 250bhp exactly at 6500rpm at 13.5psi
torque was 241 ft-lb at 4720rpm at 16psi
noisey tappets now quiet after oil change
Torque tail off same as boost, figure 265hp with boost held till redline.
All tweaks done via ecu remap.
didn't det, and I did adjust fuelling and ignition.
onwards and upwards.
