Re: [MBZ] Kirkland full synthetic oil

Re: [MBZ] Kirkland full synthetic oil

I use NAPA synthetic in all my cars (except the OM617s which get Delo). I watch for sales and stock up. It's private label Valvoline, from what the local NAPA store manager tells me. Allan Max Dillon via Mercedes writes: > Wonder who the real maker is. Are you going to use that in an MB? > >
