    Mobil 1 $10 rebate + Fast and Furious Cup

    Amazon didn't accept my rewards card at first either. Instructions with the card said it would work as a credit card, so I got it to work to buy an Amazon gift card by unclicking the "process as debit card" box. Worked fine after that.

    Mobil 1 $10 rebate + Fast and Furious Cup

    I don't remember how I requested payment. I didn't want the cups, so not receiving them was fine by me.

    my controversial oil opinions

    For free, absolutely not. Maybe if they paid me. I'd have to drive it for a bit, see how annoying it is, and then name a figure. It would have to include a 100% maintenance package, I refuse to even know where the hood latch release is.

    There is nothing wrong with Rotella. Some people have problems using it in applications it's not meant for.

    Reusing Oil Filter during Oil Change, but Dumping Old Oil Out?

    Less than $30/day burned adds up to $10k/yr. Plunk that into a mutual fund for a couple decades and see where you wind up. Same with a $900 car payment. A lot of people are driving what could be their early retirement, or in some cases the ability to retire EVER.

    Mobil 1 $10 rebate + Fast and Furious Cup

    Agreed. Time shift + written record. I'd originally emailed and they emailed back requesting me to call a number they provided. Not that a written record matters, the number of headaches I'm willing to take on over $40 is vanishingly small.

    Mobil 1 $10 rebate + Fast and Furious Cup

    Just called on my Mobil rebate, hadn't received anything on it. Rep said it was rejected even though it looked perfectly valid to her and should have been processed. She forwarded it to management to re-enter and advised me to call back in a couple weeks to double check. The call at least went...

    my controversial oil opinions

    1. The thinnest motor oil I acknowledge the existence of is 30 weight. 20 weight and thinner does not exist in my world. 2. Most everyone here cares way too much about oil, including me. Most everyone in the driving public doesn't care enough. The "right" amount of caring is a lot closer to the...

    What criteria do you use when selecting a motor oil?

    Wonder how many potential members you guys lose with the vinegar vs. honey approach.

    What criteria do you use when selecting a motor oil?

    1. Correct specs for my application - my opinion, may or may not match what the MFG says I should use. 2. Mostly brand agnostic but will avoid UltraOnePlus, Triax, and any no name dollar tree stuff. Lesser known but solid brands or store brands are perfectly fine. 3. Whatever costs least.
