The moment its re-blended, the API certification won't apply, unless it was sent for certification again.

IF what you said is true, that XOM re-blends the Malaysia oil, then it DOES NOT MEET API. Why?
API EOLCS | Brand Search Results

Example, EMG MARKETING GODO KAISHA is the one selling Mobil 1 in JAPAN in metal cans, different from USA. And here you see they applied and gotten their API certification for re-packed Mobil 1. I can only guess that it is a different blend as well.

HAhahah! Good catch. This I gotta go find out. The thing with Exxon is it has so many subsidiary companies you'll never know how the whole thing works. But I'm sure a multibillion dollar company can afford to certify and legitimize their products. Besides, why expose themselves for lawsuits?

Eh.. how do you know the acronym XOM?

 

[vr2turbo]

Well... that's true to an extent. :hmmmm:

But monetary wise - it's only dollar sense to just repack and jackup the price after pushing the supplier for the best possible price (large stock intake). Who in their right mind would hire people to reblend? Not to mention propietary formulation is not that easily sold or shared.

Oh well, no one can really tell. But since I work for Exxon, I can tell you Esso/Mobil oils in m'sia are reblended to suite the weather. But they aren't rebranded or repackaged for selling, they were sold under the same company name which invested a lot in R&D. But that now all belongs to Petron now so lets see how that works out.

Bro. Izso,
Exxon keeps Mobil brand name?

I don't know actually. The Exxon-Petron deal was pretty hush hush due to the sensitivity of the employee transfer. Chemicals, refinery and the entire downstream business went. Lubes and all as well. Since this is only M'sia (at the moment), the exact details of the transaction isn't really clear. There's talk that overseas same thing's happening.

Oil wise whatever you can get now from stations and stores will be the last batch of M'sian Mobil oils I guess. Tesco and Carrefour get theirs overseas, not local oils.

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

The car go high......hahahahahahha

Ya, sort of

From last time, when I was still driving the toyota, I tried chemlube, but ever since my sister and dad driving now, they service the car themselves, no longer handle by me...

They using Castrol now, I drove it yesterday, seems to perform the same when I used to
use Chemlube Racing..guess have to switch back to find out...:hmmmm:

Yup, saw Petron lube on their station shelves already. Found out Mobil still exist. Even when Exxon bought over Mobil they stop Esso lube rather then Mobil because they have better market.
Local distributor for Mobil is next door to my Mechanic shop, and heard they are distributing both brands....

I have no idea how it works. Hell nobody knows if its Group III or Group IV inside Mobil 1, official communication from XOM is to not tell.

XOM? Stock market le. LOL.

Main sensitivity is that the main owner of Petron is San Miguel, and the deal was coordinated by Tun Mahathir's family members or maybe himself. Technically speaking, Petron fuels are non-halal. LOL.

Engine oil, I felt its always better to buy imports rather than those "packed" locally.

I was under the impression XOM distributes Mobil 1 themselves. Who is the distributor you speak of?

Heard some say is Group IV and Mobil 1 Gold is V.

XOM I think distribute to their stations and distributor to Spare part shops, workshop etc.,
The distributor name is Mobilub Trading Sdn. Bhd.
Mobilub Trading Sdn Bhd

Heard they distribute to Central region only. North and South have other distributors.....

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Have yet to be able to spot Petron in my GPS...PETRON = Esso/Mobil eh...

They are refurbishing all Esso and Mobil stations in stages to become Petron.....

It's group 3 already la. Group 4 was the old batch. It's all 3 now.

Well, your money your choice. Having said that though, I'd rather pay for Castrol Syntec imported than the crap magnatec. So I hear you.

As for the non-halal thing, it's debatable. There was some hoo-ha about employees going over to Petron because they all said that San-Miguel is a beer company and they refused to work for an alcohol company. It was hilarious! Don't know what happened in the end but I'm sure something panned out.

Nah. This isn't true. Exxon uses distributors and doesn't do distribution. Just supply.

You're right about the distributors.

But you're not right about Mobil 1 gold being Ester based (group 5). It's not! All group 3 now sadly. But their additives are pretty impressive in their own right.

Yup, have heard about the non halal thingy. If that is the case, then Genting Casino they cannot work there too. What about (GAB) Guinness Anchor Bhd and many others?

Mobil 1 Grouping, I hear only. Anyway, thanks for the clarification that they are all Group 3.

 

[5112121]

if ester base then it will be very expensive.

 

[Izso]

if ester base then it will be very expensive.

Considering Mobil 1 Gold is in the RM240 price range for 4L, it's not exactly cheap. But like I said, Mobil can justify the cost because of the additives used. It's seriously very good even though base oil is group 3

 

[vr2turbo]

Bought Pennzoil Multi Vehicle ATF for my mechanic....RM54 for 4L
Some prices....
FS 5w-30 at RM104 and 5w-40 at RM118

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Genting Casino, all races are qualified to work as croupier long as they are aware of the job they are applying for.
Just some, they work half way they left from what I heard, cuz some say is against their religion so,
end up quitting. So, you will see more other races as croupier.

As far as I know, Petron exist in Philippines, so they have their own fuel.
BHP however do not and getting their fuel from Singapore company...my 2 sens
