Question:
Using Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck in a Car That's Not a Diesel or a Turbo
I drive a Mercedes-Benz C280 year 1997 and 228K mileage. When I went to Autozone the sales rep sold me Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5W-40. Is this safe to put in my car seeing how it is neither turbo, diesel, or a truck?

Answer:
Yes, Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5W-40 can also be used in gasoline engines. However a better choice for your vehicle is Mobil 1 0W-40. Either product will provide outstanding performance and protection.
