Originally Posted By: mmavet Advance auto parts just sent out their monthly ads booklet and listed Mobil Super Synthetic @ 19.99 for 5 quarts with a driveworks filter. I'll upgrade the filter to a P1 for 2.00 more. My question is.... what is the difference between the various Mobil 1 Synthetic...

Originally Posted By: turtlevette I have the 2002 Suburban 5.3 flex and it makes a nasty racket on M1 0W-30 AFE for about 3 minutes after cold startup only.
