VW 505 01 Engine Oil

[linds]

I've mentioned this in a previous thread, but there is Mobil 1 ESP available from Mobil distributors, bought two 20L bottles so far in the time I've had my car, and it's a 504.00/507.00 oil, absolutely awesome, drive it hard, done 130000km, still eating nothing... and amazingly aussie made (probably melbourne)

I don't see anywhere on my 20L oil drums that it would be made in Australia.
Do you have on your drums Made in Australia?

Mobil has only one Lube Refinery in Australia. I used to work in the Mobil Lube Refinery at Port Stanvac in South Australia.
The plant has been shutdown for several years and never made any synthetic oils.

So, all the Mobil synthetic oils are imported than and probably made in France.
That's good.
Thanks for that info.

For anyone still having any trouble, Penrite Enviro+ 5W-30 is VW approved against VW 504.00/507.00 and also refers to VW 505.01 and MB 229.51. About $65 for 5 litres at my local auto shop, Hills Automen at Hahndorf. Penrite is an Australian made oil.

Well, that Enviro+ you have on mind is actually full import. But othervise, most of Penrite oils are made in OZ.
