Mobil one turbo diesel 5W40, I think, is what I bought.
Mobil 1 is available in a zillion flavors in Spain. I buy mine at the
supermarket ;-)

Gas, 5W-50 Rally Formula, probably only available in Europe.
I see there is a Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel available in the UK. This is not
available in Sweden.
Mobil is a very small company in Sweden, only selling lubricants through
distributors, and Exxon is completely absent since Statoil bought swedish
Esso.
Cheers,
Thomas
