Hi all,

Quick question we took our NSX into the garage today for a service and was advised that they are struggling to get the Mobil 1 10-40. Having looked on local supplier sites I cannot see it anywhere. So I am curious what oil are people are using these days?

I always use 0w40 Mobil 1, never tried the 10w40.

There is a 'Flash Sale" at Eurocarparts today only - 30% discount on all parts - use VIP30. Brings Mobil 1 0w40 New Life down to around £30 for 5 litres which is pretty good.

Seconded. Ester-based synth, vey good specs for the money.

Yep. I'm no oil chemist but the general consensus between those in the know is that both Fuchs Titan Pro S 5w40 and Motul 300v power 5w40 are 2 of the most shear stable performance engine oils on the market today. Both are ester based.
