Mobil1 5w30 Annual Protection?

[fdcg27]

This looks like a potentially useful oil.
It'll be interesting to see the inevitable VOA/UOA of this new M1 flavor.
I'll agree that few people will buy this oil at the current fifty bucks a jug, but if you actually ran it 20K with a filter capable of that run, cost per mile would come down to a reasonable level even at that price.
OTOH, various UOAs show that M1 EP isn't really a 15K oil in many applications, so it may be that AP isn't a 20K in many cases either.
Either way, we'll see how this oil does in service.
I don't look for this oil to fade away, either. SOPUS, Valvoline and Castrol may introduce and ditch products on a regular basis. XOM doesn't seem to do that with the many flavors of M1.
Watch for the inevitable rollback pricing and MIR as well.

It's not going from $49 to clearance - there will be a price where some will buy - already in for $35 - I have paid that for PUP ...
How many miles does Royal Dutch Shell print on that bottle ?

Maybe the Mobil price is going to be the new norm? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pennzoil-Ultra-Platinum-Full-Synthetic-5W30-Motor-Oil-5-qt/55291206

$49, no thanks.

Right on bubbatime. Hit the nail right on the head. Ain't nobody at Walmart going to pay ANYWHERE near $50 for oil. Even though Mobil 1 used at 10k miles intervals times two would be very close to $50... No one who shops at Walmart will be able to get past the sticker shock of $50.

Yikes, that's expensive.

How much is it going to cost at Auto Zone & O'Reillys!?

 

[demarpaint]

At $34.99 they have a shot, $39.99 not so good. At $49 keep an eye on the closeout rack they'll be blowing it out at fire sale prices. WMT isn't going to be tying up shelf space for it for very long.

$50 oil at Walmart

 

[bbhero]

Yeah with a anti theft device on it to boot!!! That's bigtime oil there man if it needs a anti theft device

Canadian Tire had the K&N oil filters (and Red Line oil, when they carried it) in locked cages.

If you knew the kind of people who frequented CT in Regina like I did (both staff and customers), you'd understand why.

I know Red Line is pricey, but is a K&N oil filter worth stealing?

 

[HolyOilSeeker]

Exactly they're fishing for a market that doesn't exist.

Keep it behind the counter in a locked case with an armed guard on duty.






It IS a precious resource after-all.
