Gonna return some Green GC, M02

[Auto-Union]

Using up all the 2002 GC I have will just put off me using some of the newer 03 and 04 stuff that I also still have and was willing to sell to a BitOGer. I figure I'll get the best price just returning it to AZ. Any reciepts I have are ancient, so figure for a case of oil, the store will not have a problem returning it....for credit....Mobil 1 whatever. I have a GC box and all the bottles are clean and full...of GC (wink). Nobody cares about date codes but us. M02...meh.

PS the thing is that I determined can really only use one case of GC a year, in mid-summer. This is rather than 2 cases of GC over spring/summer/fall and thinner Mobil 1 once over winter. Now, I'll do the opposite. I can't see using GC except Jun-July-Aug-Sept. Hottest time of the year is July 20 and coldest Jan 20. I'll center a 3x a year scheme on one of those points. I would rather not do an OC on the coldest day of the year, but that's how things worked out. GC is a bit too thick for my Acura off-season.

Wonder how much it would costs to ship to Georgia?

I'd use it in the winter.. it's 0w-30 not like 15W-40 or something!

Mobil 1 0w-30 is my winter oil. I want to get one GC run in a year, and summer seems like the time.

Hi Clark, Speaking of Date codes. What exactly do you mean. Here you say you are concerned with the age of the oil. JT

thus the problem with stocking up on motor oil, after a few years, better and newer comes out.

As I said, if I use up the cases and cases of older M02 stuff myself, it will delay using the "newer" M03 and M04 stuff for quite a time. That is to say, I have more than year of M02, so using that makes the year-newer stuff even older than the M02 is now, sort of a paradox. What I had offered for sale was M03 anyway, not trying to pawn the M02 stuff off on a BitOGer, I'll gladly use the ones I have myself. Shelf-life was not the point of this post anyway, just that it seemed natural to return the oldest stuff since my use pattern had changed so much.

why not use a QT of 02 at every oil change? I have 02, 03, and 04 in my truck right now.

I use the M02 stuff for topping. Only have a couple.

I like using GC to top up. If AZ won't take it back, perhaps you can put an ad up on the ad boards.

Saw that.
