Since it produced alot of engine noise I'd say that's the real Mobil.


340k km on mobil 1

To paraphrase Blackstone, “next time try 500km”

Counterfeit in this context is saying that some entity is producing "oil" in bottles and with fake labels to deceive the purchaser. What Jooksing got was either tampered product or the whole thing was made up, somewhat different than a counterfeit product.


Like a scam from the start???

Why not … my driver did more than twice that on the Mobil 1 0w40 in Europe …

It is possible


I have heard of this happening and especially with oil filters, switched right at the store. I have also seen at our Walmart where someone was trying to return a JUG of Mobil 1 oil and they were returning used oil in the JUG and got caught!

It was no problem to run the older version of mobil 1 0w-40 for 30k km oci.

Yes can be someone that have changed it. Or it can be rest of 70 ton fake oils.. hard to prove. I was to the store and asked where they get the oils from, and guess what.. they are coming from Estland. And i told them about my problem and they didint care less. Now i gonna see if they have any proof or documents that they get the real stuff or i will take it to the police.

Sad but true. Even "fake Mobil 1" wouldn't produce terrible noises immediately and be detected as counterfeit oil. Worst case it was some cheap 30 wt bulk dino oil, it STILL probably would run just fine for a normal interval. I'm not saying it's not good to be lied to and not get what you paid for but pouring it in, hearing a noise and then draining it due to paranoia is just nonsense.

The OP would be better off if it was fake Mobil 1. Unlike Texaco, Mobil 1 doesn't knock out the knocks. (Source: Bob Hope)

Some people are just being silly while some others are crazy. The challenge is to determine which.

Yup, and sometimes the line is pretty blurred.

That was Gulf Oil's "No-Nox" premium.

It's funny, my dad was a WWII vet and hated Bob Hope for his USO work...think he felt like Hope was treated like some kind of war hero when he was just an entertainer. Dad was also very bitter about John Wayne having a patriotic tough guy reputation when he never served...he was too old to be drafted for WWII, but Henry Fonda was even older and volunteered to serve.

Immediately IS a few hundred kilometers. Mineral oil is death to an engine in Finland why exactly? You could switch between Mobil 1 and a bulk conventional 5w30 and be absolutely perfect anywhere else in the world.
