Looks like this fine oil is now carried at my local Autozone for 32.99. Not bad for the 504 for the Atlas

I saw it yesterday. Mobil sure took their time putting it in a 5qt jug.
If they had done that years ago it might have been my oil instead of Castrol.
I wasn't willing to buy Mobil 1 ESP @ $10qt when Castrol and LL was always on sale at Walmart for less than $22 per 5qt jug.
Mobil Euro was my standard for the Jetta and Blazer for years.
 
Out of stock now, too. Wonder what's up with that?
Walmart has been pretty wonky with the Castrol C3 and LL the last few months. They come into stock at Rollback, about $21.xx, then jump up to ridiculous just before going OOS. Wait a month, and they come back at Rollback for a day or two, followed by the same routine.
Makes Valvolene XL-III a better bet if you don't follow WM and stock up ahead of need.
 
Also if you didn't burn your valvoline cashback already, you can get $5 back a jug I believe, unless excludes discounted multipacks, I don't remember the exact terms.

I've got two jugs set back for now, but I hope it comes back in soon. Otherwise a new oil choice I 'll have to make.
 
Is that OCI Nissan recommends? Depends on fuel dilution. It should do recommend OCI without problems. But if you are trying to extend it, you need UOA with TBN and TAN values.
Nissan recommends 0w20, 6mo/5000mi.

I don’t want to pay for UOA, that is why I’m asking.
 
No one can answer that question then. My guess for such short OCI is high fuel dilution. Theoretically, it could do. Theoretically!!!
I guess I’ll stick with extended performance, the upgrade is way cheaper that UOA cost.
