Yes I thought that was a knock out price. I was at my local Walmart last week and they had no Havoline on the self. This was an online order. Its the best price I've gotten this year on a 5 quart Jug of full synthetic. My stash is full to the brim now.

It's crazy, but that's my thought as well. I use Castrol EDGE Extended Performance in three vehicles, and I love the gold 5-quart jugs.

PP should listen - they must have a patent on the ugly-jug

You were correct the Havoline oil got here today and it is not Dexos certified. But I think since my Corolla has no Dexos require its going to live with it next spring we'll find out.

I was trying to decide between the same 2 oils for my 18 Colorado Z71 3.6l. I have been using castrol for awhile with no issues in other vehicles. The gold bottle castrol does not have the dexos cert though and the Mobil 1 Extended Performance does. To use castrol I would prob be safer using the black bottle since it has the dexos cert but how does that compare to the M1?

I would go with the cheaper one. Both great oils.

How is the owners manual spelled out on Dexos ? GM can be fairly “thou shall” on Dexos …

What is main difference Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w20 has labele protect 15k while Castrol EDGE Extended Performance 20k ?
Does that mean Castrol EDGE Extended Performance better oil ? More added pack??
