Cheap Mobil One

[points]

$3.79 per quart for Mobil One at Target.  

 

One more thing....

I help a f^rd van today.  In Minnesota it snowed 5 inches or so and a van ran off the road.  I help like I always do.  After two trys I got him out.  Easy for my truck!

 

Peace.

Not a bad price at all.

 

I got a few cases a few months ago when they went on sale for that same price at meier.  I am waiting a few wks to do my next oil change (to darn cold).  Hopeflly over spring break itll be warm.  I am still under the 3K miles but i have had the oil in for about 3 months

oh yea another way to get oil and other stuff cheaper is to make friends with someone at walmart/kmart  

 

My gf works at kmart and i get to reap the benefits of her 10% discount.

Only 3k for Mobil One.....   You should use the cheap .79 stuff.  Save your money.  I go between 6k to 10k.

 

Peace.

Cheap .79 stuff ?  

 

Id rather pay a little extra now and keep the truck running for a long time

Is that the regular or synthetic stuff? I'm gonna change my oil tomorrow. First time to use Mobil 1.

Has anyone ever had an oil and/or filter related engine problem/failure when using dino oil at 3000 mile intervals? I never have. Until a few years ago, I have always purchased used vehicles with 50k miles or more on the odometer and have always changed the oil and filter every 3000 miles. I have driven these vehicles until the bodies started falling off with >100k miles. One Chevy truck with a 350cid needed an engine overhaul and clutch at 117k miles. Clutch was original!

I completely agree and if the vehicle is mostly highway use I've never changed oil/filter before 6k. I use Mobil 1 in the truck and my 80k mile Caravan only because it makes me feel good, I don't really think it is necessary.  It is required in the Vette because of the higher engine temperatures.  Going against manufacturers specs on viscosity is not wise.

Word, i wouldnt use 5W30 unless you live in really cold winter areas.
