C40 Oil Discussion

yeah, that's where I got mine, but its still a bit more than $2.50 a quart for Mobil 1. Now if oil changes came every 3000 miles like in the 60's that would be intolerable, but for most it's no big deal at once year. I change mine at least twice per year, sometimes more often.

Mobil ESP X3 0W-40 C40
Folks
Just a heads up.
I've been able to score a number of 5 liter jugs of Mobil 1 ESP X3 0W-40 C40 spec oil. Yup, the 718 GT4 magic potion also known as "unobtanium"
I'll be receiving more than I can use for now so if anyone is interested in purchasing some, contact me privately.
Cost will be my price (approx. $74.00 / 5 liters) + whatever shipping cost is required from me to you.
I expect to have it within three weeks or so.
Thanks.

Congrats! Porsche St. Paul has managed to get some quarts in stock, and was willing to ship me a dozen. My local dealer (Reno) still seems to think it goes for $87/qt, so I've been looking for a more reasonable source. I even tried ordering a 5-liter jug from Amazon UK, but that ended up lost in the mail. It's getting out there, but darned slowly!

Or.... you could buy Motul C40 oil here for $47 / 5L: https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/109762.htm
Make the total $49 and ground shipping (which is expensive otherwise) is free.
Or.... also here for $50 / 5L and free shipping:
Not to poop on your parade OP but $74 / 5L is expensive when there's plenty of alternatives that also meet the spec.

Mobil 1 is "recommended" as a marketing thing - nothing more.

Mobil1 is "officially recommended" in the same sense that Papa John's is the "Official Pizza of the NFL". Not meant to be taken seriously.
