The Costco here has a whole pallet of 10W-30 for $33.99 per case. With my $9 coupon, that makes it $4.165 per quart. Plus I get 2% back.
MISSING MOBIL 1

Bought one out of the two last jugs of 0w-30 the other day. I noticed one of the bottles said "Return used oil to you nearest *Wal-Mart* tire and lube center" and the other bottle didn't. Maybe Wal-Mart does have their own formulation??
I bought the one without it. Don't want the cheapo ChinaMart version.
My 5 quart jug of Valvoline Synpower that was purchased at Walmart also says "Recycle used oil at your local Walmart Tire and Lube Express" on it.
I bet it's a Walmart requirement.

There was plenty of M1 at Autozone today @ $6.49/qt (same price for PP and Castrol Syntec). To be on the safe side I bought 6 quarts of 0W-40.

However, it takes time to obtain an API certification (with some exceptions where substitutions are allowed) and so the interim formulas did not have an API seal on them.
Instead, ExxonMobil used a "recommended for" label.
Redline and several of the independents do this on all their oils, and Amsoil on a few including ATF, so this is hardly either a big deal on a temporary basis.
Once the supply chain was back in order (i.e., damage to plants on the Gulf repaired), ExxonMobil went right back to the API certified formulas.

With so many good synthetic motor oils out there why are you guys driving all over town for Mobil1?
Their marketing campaign has so many people blinded its UNREAL!
PP or one of the full synthetic quaker states would be PERFECT for most applications.
I bet most of the people who buy Mobil 1, don't do extended drains, and don't have turbo/supercharged/high performance cars, so they are Wasting their money..!
