Well, with the end of 2-4-1, PP ain't so cheap either, ya know. AA has PP for 5.78, and the M1 is 5.98. The EP is $6.48, and the 0W20 SuperSyn is 6.24. Pricey enough, but since PP ain't doing 2-4-1 anymore, not that much more than PP. All the other GIII syns are in line with PP, too.
Question that pi55ed everyone off awhile back was the lack of response from EM as to whether we're getting a PAO for our money these days, or just another groupIII syn with a radically reduced ad-pack no less.
I was a long time M1 user of EM products and M1, but no more until I get a straight answer from EM about the M1 they charge more than ever for, but is showing poor results in the extended drains people buy the stuff for in the first place. They don't care about lil old me and whether or not I buy their water-laden, non-tier gasoline or their swill of a synthetic, but there you have it.
Color me yellow, I'm a Pennzoil/Shell man now. At least they're honest about the product, Shell is Top-Tier on their gasoline, and fact is, I rather admire them for Pennzoil Johnny's contributions and info on these here pages. Anyone in an equivalent position from Exxon/Mobil would have been the recipient of a cease and desist order long before now..
