And btw, I think they gave me a bigger check than they were supposed to...
But sorry to hear about the troubles.

Mobil prices (and some other oils) at Wal-Mart

picked up 50 qts of maxlife 5w30 and 10w30 at 1.50qt today.
beanoil, iirc, Mobil Clean HM does not carry the miles guarantee.
Check your local Target store. Mobil-1 was $5.06 just over a week ago.
Anyone see any problem using maxlife on an engine with 10k on it?
I would not unless you had some issue.
Same with having a 100k engine that was running great, why put more adds when all you need is just good oil?
I do not like this Max life, HM oils marketing that once you make 75k, you need this type of oil.
I've made 200k plus with many engines and have NEVER used a HM oil. Or heaver oil.
Wonder how I made it through life without all these "special" oils?
Take care, Bill
I tend to agree but it was 1.50 a quart, which is cheaper than the conventional supertech at my walmart so i had to grab it. i have 2 cars with over 100k I can use it in. I wish I grabbed some of the all-climate when i had a chance.
Yes, but do those cars NEED it?
If they are running fine, any oil would work great and prob get better MPG than a HM oil.
You'll have no problems, I'm just too old school I guess..
Why add extra "stuff" when you do not need it?
Take care, bill
I figure some of the special purpose oils are just an excuse to get more of my cash, or at least plastic. I was pleasantly surprised to find Pennzoil 5W-30 down to $8.72 from about $10 today at Wally's for a 5 quart jug. Bought 2, one for my 02 Cavalier, 80K, and my 77 LUV, 135K of abusive, stop and go short trips. 10W-30 and -40 were both the same $8.72. No cost saving running thicker Pennzoil with Pennzoil as suggested recently in a couple of threads. At almost $19, PP wouldn't be cost effective at twice the OCI.
Maxlife yesterday at Walmart was $13.83, up from $12.88 four months ago. Comes to $14.97 with tax. That's still only $2.99 a quart for the world's best blend.
Mobil 1 is $21 and some cents and Mobil 1 EP is $24 and some cents per 5 qt. jug at my Walmart. I bought a jug of each over the past 3 weeks.
I agree that you don't need to buy/use an HM oil in a car that has over 100K miles.quote:

But when I saw Havoline HM on closeout at Advance Auto Parts for 59 cents a quart, I just had to purchase 28 quarts of it.
If it wasn't on closeout, I wouldn't even think about buying any HM oil.
WM's close to $2 and above now so I buy their Maxlife and use coupons from Valvo. The rest of my oil is Kragens now 1.09 Chev and Shell before rebate and .59 after.
I still have enough PP and Maxlife to use so I'm still only buying when I can go below $1. Probably the main value of a stash is you can wait until you can buy a case on sale.

Exactly what I just purchased 2 days ago for my Civic. Replacing M1 0w20 @ $5.97 a quart. I just had a kid and now EVERYTHING costs a lot.
Same with me thats why I bought the valv maxlife. It was cheaper than supertech dino without the hassle of rebates and stuff. I could never buy it at 3/qt.
