Question

What is the difference between Mobil 1 and Mobil 1 Motorsport oil?

Appart from the price....

For normal road use do I need to go to the expense of the Motorsport?

Looking at 15w50 for my Scooby....

Is the Motul equivelent to the normal Mobil 1 as the price is similar?

Cheers

I think Tony Burns went into this in some detail not long ago.
Hopefully he will see this thread and answer, sorry can't be more help.

Normal Mobil 1 is 0/40, and far too thin for most cars.
The Mobil 1 motorsport is a 15/50, and much better suited, and isnt that much more expensive than the thin stuff, if at all.
The Motul is about the same price, but apparently better oil.

Question

Motil 1 is available from Halfords for 29.99 I think.. in 15w50 or 0w40...

I could be wrong it could have been 39.99 but defintely 15w50
assumed it was not the Motorsport version as that is 50pound via the scoobyshop?

Anyone?

Cheers
