    Mobil 1 Advanced Clean formulation change

    Yup. Effectively getting 5 quarts for $12 sounds pretty good to me. That's why I'll be using it for my next oil change in the fall.

    Mobil 1 Advanced Clean formulation change

    I think Supertech has been independently tested and proven to be a pretty good oil. I'm no expert, but I think at some point you're probably splitting hairs. Is Mobil 1 or Valvoline or Amsoil a better oil than Supertech? Probably. But over the course of 100,000 miles, is there going to be...

    Valvoline Restore and Protect

    Anyone else used to think Valvoline wasn't a very good oil brand? I used to see Valvoline bulk oils at many car mechanic shops, and just assumed that it was because it was the cheapest oil they could get away with using.

    Valvoline Restore and Protect

    Plus a $10 rebate via the Mobil 1 website.

    Is Shell Premium Considered Best Cleaning Gasoline?

    Question about Shell V Power. My understanding is that most gas stations have pumps that mix premium and regular fuel at the pump to create a mid-octane fuel. Does anyone know if that's the case with Shell? If so, does that mean the mid-grade Shell likely has somewhere between regular and...

    Valvoline Restore and Protect

    I'm still waiting to see if Mobil 1 Advanced Clean comes close to the performance of Valvoline Restore and Protect. Will be good to have some competition, I think.

    Valvoline Restore and Protect

    Yeah, hopefully there's no shortage. But, it wouldn't surprise me if prices still go up and stay up. Though I suspect, at the very least, there will be a slight shortage (likely due to everyone stocking up). Also, kinda weird that some brands are selling their oils on discount right now...

    Valvoline Restore and Protect

    Weird, 5w30 was up to 39 for me until today when I checked and it's back down to $30. But I already have enough oil (including my most recent oil change) to be good for at least 10-12 months. Debating jumping on this or not... Edit: went ahead and bought a jug with subscribe and save at my...

    Valvoline Restore and Protect

    You're correct. Sold by Valvoline. Still can't get it to show me any Walmart 5w30. I just changed my oil and got a jug of Mobil 1 Advanced Clean for super cheap. So I'm probably good for another 10-12 months. But debating if I should try and snag another jug of Valvoline Restore and Protect...

    Valvoline Restore and Protect

    Maybe it's a regional thing and they're out in my area. Might try to VPN and see. Where are you?

    Valvoline Restore and Protect

    Weird. Even Amazon is showing 39 for me. But that's 5w30. Other viscosity is 30.

    Valvoline Restore and Protect

    What viscosity? 5w30 seems to be 38+ everywhere?

    Valvoline Restore and Protect

    Considering Valvoline Restore and Protect just went up to $38 everywhere, and I got Mobil 1 Advance Clean for $12 after rebate, I'm going to hopefully see if Mobil 1 does anything and then switch back to Valvoline Restore and Protect next year when hopefully prices come down. But currently on...

    How big is your stash, hoarders?

    Thanks. I might get it. But also Mobil 1 Advanced Clean now has a $10 rebate and $4 of Walmart Cash, so I can effectively get it for $12.

    How big is your stash, hoarders?

    Was going to order some Valvoline Restore and Protect today, but they're OOS on Walmart for 5w-30. Think I might get a jug of the Mobil 1 Advanced Clean. Or I might go for Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. Not trying to hoard, just having one on hand for the next oil change in a few months. Assuming...

    Mobil 1 Advanced Clean formulation change

    If I were to buy some for my next oil change in a few months, anything on the shelf at this point (or warehouse) would probably be the original stuff, right?

    Post your latest engine/cabin air filter change

    Helped a friend change a cabin air filter on a 2005 Honda pilot. From what I can tell, it has never been changed. Apparently on the 2005, there's a piece of plastic that is in the way, and the only way to change it is to break off that plastic. And that plastic was intact. And there was a...

    Valvoline Restore and Protect

    I'm about 500 miles into my first venture with Valvoline Restore and Protect. The engine does feel as though it idles slightly smoother, and has a smoother acceleration. That being said, right before this oil change I did spray some CRC valve cleaner through a vacuum line, and did a MAF...

    How long on Valvoline Restore and Protect before going back to favorite oil?

    Yeah, and we supposedly went back to the moon multiple times as well...

    How long on Valvoline Restore and Protect before going back to favorite oil?

    To be fair, with all the hype, and the claims, it does seem too good to be true.
