I called EZ Lube today to inquire about a $21.99 oil change coupon which includes a 14 point inspection...
Myself: Hi, I am calling to inquire about your $21.99 oil change. Is this the price for my car?
EZlube: yes it is.
Myself: What if i want synthetic oil?
EZLube: Well, the coupon is not valid for synthetic oil but I will give you $8 off our synthetic oil change price of $68.99. We use Mobil 1. Synthetic oil is much better to put in your car because the normal oil change uses a "wax based oil" and synthetic gives you better fuel economy with extended oil change intervals.
Myself: How much more can i extend my oil change with synthetic?
EZLube: to 6k miles
Myself: What oil do u use in the regular oil change?
EZLube: Mobil
Keep in mind that i already know they use Mobil. I believe they use Exxon Superflo.
Myself: $68 is alot to spend though...
EZLube: Well, If you come in and do a synthetic oil change I will include a Mobil 1 synthetic filter at the $68.99+tax price.
Myself: Thanks for the information.
Question: What is a "wax based" oil?
Comment: I really dont like quick lube places. They pump their oil from downstairs and who knows what they are putting in your car. Heck, it might even be "recycled" oil...if there is such a thing. It probably is bulk Exxon Superflo but my distrust in these quick lube places is high after seeing all these youtube videos where they dont service your car at all!

Im not trying to bash quick lube places...but i prefer the bottled oils so i know it's brand spanking new oil.
