Bye bye Valvoline EP

[busdriver]

Since I change the oil in my wife's car at 5,000 mile intervals, I'm going to have to move on to a new oil, probably Super Tech...I can't justify the price....

 

[Androideka]

I decided not to use it anymore based on being owned by the Saudis. Price doesn't help

Just go with the Havoline in the 6-quart box.

Here, Quaker State synthetic is about the same price as ST - it’s GTL with a good additive package - Dexos etc …

 

[LazyDog]

Does one crazy price!

Same here, just going to move to Mobil 1.

I ordered 2 5qt jugs of Mobil1 ep 5w20 from Amazon on 6/30/22 for $26.47 per jug. Don’t know what the price is today or your feelings about Exxon Mobil, just a heads up.

Aren't they our allies?

Not much more and you can get HPL oils @High Performance Lubricants if you want an Ultimate level oil. There is no "best" but HPL is one of them.

So $32.00 for a jug plus $6.00 for a filter. Call it $40.00 and the Instant Oil change places are pushing $100.00 OK-you can't justify it. Hope your electronic devices you use to participate this forum are not made in China.

Sure-one goes in your crankcase and the other goes next to your head. Totally different!

If I had the choice, my smartphone wouldn't be made in China. Luckily, there are a lot of oil brands that are Western owned. Maybe one day devices will be made here, we can only hope

As long as we realize we pick and choose what is most nonsensical.....to us!

Well the SuperTech is like $20.00 for a 5 quart jug, my thought is that oil is cheaper than Steel. I can remember when I could get PP for like $18.99 a 5 quart jug.

Look, if you dont care about the car, use the cheapest oil, but if you kind of care about the car, then use something that is good.

 

[Trav]

Even at $10 difference a jug that is only 0.002c a mile and that is making a difference from using an oil you like vs not? I don't get it.

What is your definition of not much more? only double or is that triple

Not that I dont like HPL but my 2.5L forester with 73HP/L will get along just fine on PP or rotella gas truck I picked up for pennies.
Now gear oil.. I might fork out for some HPL.

Yeah that oil should be around 22 to $23. I know if you get on walmart.com a lot of times they have five quarts of the Quaker State synthetic high mileage for under $20

 

[Revving2Redline]

It sounds like the extra protection or EP is to describe how much of it will still be on the shelves at Walmart being chilled by that air conditioning. Apparently they did not learn anything from Exxon Mobil when they had their annual protection oil at $50 a jug. Now I know there's a big difference between the two companies as far as quality and which one makes a better product but somebody who was marketing this should be kicked between the legs
