I just saw a flyer from "Auto Zone" parts store.
They have Mobil 1 on sale thru 12/25/17. Looks like you get 5 quarts and a filter for just shy of $30.00.
Ad says it is good for any of the synthetics including high mileage and does not specify a limit.
Might not be able to use the filter, but 5 Qts for 30 bucks sounds pretty good to me.
I am not associated with Auto Zone, in fact rarely go in the store.
Y'all have a great one !!

That’s a good deal if you include the filter. I just picked two 5qt jugs of Mobile One 10w-40 High Milage for $25 a piece at Walmart. That after I missed the sale at $19. Got the filter from NAPA a Wix 1324 for $7.

I just switched to Mobil 1 Extended and got it from WalMart at $25/5 quarts.

Amsoil 10w-30 blended with Walmart Mobil High-mileage, Napa Gold, ...sometimes Amazon Wix 2-pack.

24 hr oil change method, hot, neodymium magnet on filter, drain catch can, lube door hinges.

It was posted recently Mobil reformulated and lowered the additives, so I'm going full AMSOIL 10w-40 from now on.
High Mileage was the recommendation, the Extended Performance did not meet spec ...but it has the "gold" cap. I wrote Marc about this to get clarification.

3 items that may be of some interest ...

• Mobil 1 10W40 High Mileage - zinc levels are close to the recommendations for the LT5 (Amsoil 10W40 AMO is closer but not always readily as available)
• Once a year (maybe more often) Mobil 1 has a rebate promotion - $12 back for 5-qt jug as well as other rebate combinations. The last promo offer ended 10/31. If you caught the sale price of $20.00 and used the rebate you could have bought 2 5-qt jugs for $16.00 (max 2 rebates per household). Sometimes WallyWorld posts the rebate forms near the oil; otherwise, you can Google Mobil 1 rebates, find the current promo, download the pdf, copy your receipt, mail it in, and wait for the mailman to deliver your rebate.
• AC Delco filters prices dip close to $5.00 each (sometimes lower) at Amazon a couple times a year.

I stocked up on the AC Delco filters from Amazon. Great price for a good filter. Thanks for the heads up on the rest!!

Hadn't heard that about Mobil 1 cheaping out on the ZDDP. Well, no harm here; never put their stuff in my Z anyway. (I buy my Amsoil 10-40 from Marc Haibeck...because I CAN and we gots ta support the local sheriff, doanchaknow... )

Been having my oil changed (DD F150, etc.) for 18 years at a oil change joint. I change my own on the Vettes, and the oil joint used to drain my 5 gal Gerry can for free.

NOW they want $1/gal to accept used oil. Anyone else have this problem??

Sorry....don't mean to hijack the thread.

My town will take the oil at their recycling center. I brought in a 5 gallon jug full of used oil paid nothing.

I gotta ask...
How come so many use 10W-40?
The oil cap on the engine and the owners manual say 10W-30?
Would like to think the GM engineers knew what they were talking about...
(but, sometimes I wonder?)
