Mobil1 engine oil

[postieboy]

8 months ago I had an oil and filter change on my megane 1.5DCI by Kwik Fit and I asked for the Mobil1 0w-40 fully synthetic,loved the stuff and so did the car it ran great.However when I dropped into Kwik Fit today to enquire about another one they said they now put in Mobil Super 3000 X1 5W-40 which is better oil and now recommended.Is this true or sales hype?Not knowing I got my own oil from Halfords,Mobil1 0w-40 Turbo diesel and a Mann filter from the factors.

Mobile 1 0w40 is good for the engine. I think it has been re-branded - but it's the same stuff (more or less).

Renault put there semi synthetic elf 10w/40 stuff in and my engine didnt like it at all.Rougher and louder,so I put my fav mobil1 0w/40 full synthetic and she is running like a dream again,quieter and smoother.TAKE NOTE RENAULT!THAT 10W/40 STUFF YOU SAY TO USE IS CRAP.
