It's not Doktor Booth's M1 anymore, see Curly's post from last month or so. Group III base stock, not really true synthetic, but they are still charging you the full price. Last night I took a look at our local Wallyworld, the only weights for "Extended Performance" which may still be Group IV

Just noticed that Amazon has Mobil 1 0W-40 for around $26 for the five quart jug. If you have a Prime membership this is a good deal, since shipping costs nothing. It's weird - their price fluctuates wildly on this stuff. It went up to over $40/jug a couple of months ago, now it's back down

I think so. It's the "European" oil they put the stickers on the MB engines for. I have been using 15W-50 in my older stuff, like Tommy's S420 that is approaching 300k, but everything else I have is at or below 100k, so it gets the 0W-40. Dan Sent from my iPad > On Nov 20, 2015, at 1:49 PM,

I have had my wife order stuff from Amazon and get it shipped free in 2 days with Prime, no 10% sales tax. Great deal. I have noticed most of the FLAPs will do something similar, if you find it on their web site and buy it then go pick it up at the store, or have it shipped to the store, but

Amazon pulls too much of this sort of sneaky stuff. For example if they don't want to deal with your purchase from one of their dealers who turns out to be a ripoff artist, they send you to a bad connection in Panama to talk to someone who can't speak English intelligently and then hangs up
