PU Euro 5w40 SM vs M1 0w40 SN

[FoxS]

So I usually pick up M1 0w40 with filters and it ends up being about $4.50 a quart.

I don't need to increase my stash of filters so the non oil and filter deals are in a way more attractive.

So I can get PU Euro 5w40 SM for $3.50 a quart.

Both have the approval I need. Does anyone feel there is any downside to the cheaper oil?

I love ultra.

 

[Quattro Pete]

I would go for it. I don't see anything wrong with PU 5w-40.

 

[HTSS_TR]

I would get several cases if I can buy PU Euro 5w40 for $3.50/qt

 

[FoxS]

Right now I can get 12 qts

The question is, how can we get the same deal? That's a good one!

I just wish I could get Mobil 1 0w40 for $4:50 a quart. Costco is the cheapest and it is £30 for 5 litres, which is a little more than five quarts.

At current exchange rate around the $45/50 region.

I would go for the Mobil and sell the filters on eBay.

But if the other oil meets your specs why not just add some more to your stash.


If I had the spare cash I would have done so when Costco had 20% of Castrol oil recently. Sadly I was broke!

Great deal. Up here in Canada the cheapest I've seen PU Euro 5w-40 is at NAPA for $11.49 a litre. ridiculous.

Mobil 0w-40 used to meet the chrysler material standard ms-10725 but it is no longer listed as meeting that spec, whereas PU 5w-40 meets this standard. I have not been able to find anything out about this standard. Does anybody know anything about this Chrysler oil spec?

Funny enough, apparently in India, it does:

It is unusual because the USA product data sheet does not list it:

It's probably the result of falling-out that XOM had with Chrysler in the US when Chrysler switched suppliers and went with SOPUS instead for some of their high performance applications (SRT).

I don't think it was a falling out, I think that due to the relationship already in place with their FIAT overloards, that Chrysler switched to SOPUS. Perhaps that's made XOM bitter? I'm not sure. But I wouldn't describe it as a falling out.

 

[Quattro Pete]

Yes, that's what I meant.

Whate are the oil specs for the ms-10725?

I was in New Zealand over Christmas. Repco were selling 5L jugs for $103! Even with the exchange rate, that's about $20/L

 

[Astro14]

Stock up! The PU is a great oil...being able to get it cheaply is a lucky opportunity...

 

[Falcon_LS]

Wow that's cheap! Almost $14 a QUART here!!
