I got some 5 quart jugs of Mobil 1 0W-30 for $5, quarts of Mobil 1 0w-20 EP for $1, and quarts of Mobil 1 5w-20 high mileage for $1. My wife and daughter have Hondas that I will use the 5w-20 in. I was planning on using the 0w-30 in a Ford F150 ecoboost that calls for 5-30. Any problems with that? I was also going to use some 0w-30 in a 2006 Jeep Wrangler with 4.0 that calls for 10w-30 but have read some threads that suggest Mobil 1 in those engines doesn't produce very good UOA. The local Autozone also has Castrol Edge 0w-40 jugs for $5. Get the 0W-40 for use in the Jeep?

Can the OP remove this post please? I just realized I posted in wrong section. I have reposted in correct section.
I'd jump on the 0w-40. Use it when the vehicle will be worked hard, like towing or hard off-roading.
Your plan sounds good, OP. Keep the Xw20s in the Honda, and use the 0w30 in everything else.
I see no need for Xw40 in the Jeep.

I jump on any grade of any brand name such as Castrol, Pennzoil, Mobil 1 ... for $1/qt syn or semi-syn.
You can always mix heavier with lighter(appropriate ratio) of the same brand to get desired grade.

+1 My biggest problem is every time I see one of these deals I go to my local AZ and strike out!

LOL, I live in metro-Atlanta. Half of the AZ's had good deals, the others maybe just $1 for a random ATF or $4 for Kendall or Castrol Synblend in stores.
Like, really? Does one area in the same county really have differing rules?
We're talking 10 stores in 1 county at least, so random their pricing.

Yes & No.
No: Valvoline blue bottle ATFs are $1, Castrol Synblends were $1. This looked like a company wide clearout.
Yes: Everything else for $1 seems to be store inventory related. In one store today for $1 qt I saw RP 5w20, Edge 5w20, PYB 10w40, Durablend 10w30, Autozone 5w30. Had not seen anything like that anywhere else.
