Is It Possible To Switch From Forrte Oil To Mobil Oil by afesco(op): 7:09pm On Mar 09, 2021
I have been servicing my benz c200 kompressor with Forte Oil but my brother advised me to start using Mobil Oil. When I told my mechanic abt it, he said it is good I stick to Forte Oil n dt it is not good to change oil. I want to ask if my mechanic is right or not.

Thanks but my mechanic told me dt it is not good to change to another brand of oil as it is always good to stick to a particular oil.

Your Mechanic is right but since you're using an oil that is not trustworthy in terms of quality, I'd advice you to change to Mobil once and for all. I'd recommend Mobil 1 but it's expensive. Bought it for 29k 2 days ago. Remember to also use the recommended oil for your car. You should find the recommended oil at the cap of your engine.

Don't change to Mobil 1 yet o.
You might damage your engine.
Answer these questions 1st.
How long have you been using forte oil?
Did you buy the car as Nigeria used or toks?
Do you have pictures of the forte oil you've been using?

The OP has been using the 20w50 mineral oil since. I will advice if he’s changing to another brand he should go for Total quartz that’s the top grade mineral oil. All this forte and Mobil zhp are produced inside their shops.
