[s-cars] Texas tea...oil, that is...

[Harold McComas]

Yet another Mobil 1 user  with a slightly different weight. I am using their 
5W-40 "Truck and SUV" formula, I figure with my S6's allroad height I am 
safe. ;)
Wally has it in 5 quart jugs. I have heard that is it just repackaged Delvac 
1. Anyways been using it year round for a little over a year now in NH with 
no problems. Nice just keeping one weight of oil around too.
