Quaker State Conventional has been good to me when i've used it. it has a great additive pack and is good for both short and medium oci's. gtx is good too but i would only use the sm formulation as it is far far superior to the sn, imo.

Cheaper? Where? I can't find anything with a Mobil label cheaper than its competitor on any shelf at my local wal marts. And Mobil rarely goes on sale for us here. Pennzoil products do though. I can find pp for 20ish bucks a jug and Pennzoil Conventional for 10ish a jug.
Isn't the Mobil super line using titanium now as an add,but none of their other lines are using it. I wonder if that's their answer to castrol using a titanium add pack?

I don't know the Canadian market, but here in NY the Mobil 5000 is only about 40 cents more than the SuperTech at WM. Mobil is almost $3 cheaper than Pennzoil Conventional by me. All other major brands on their shelf cost more than Mobil whether by 50 cents or dollars.

Really?
Here Mobil products are the most expensive in their respective categories. Nothing with a Mobil label costs less than 40 bucks a jug. Not that I've seen anyways.
I'd love to try the Mobil high mileage but its over 40 a jug. And never goes on sale.
I don't get it. Why such a large discrepancy?

Yeah the Mobil conventional is cheap here too. When the new 5000 came out it was $12 a jug
Our local Walmart prices for 5 qt conv jugs are as follows,
$12.97 for SuperTech
$13.24 for Havoline
$13.97 for Mobil Super 5000
$14.24 for Quaker State Conventional
$15.23 for PYB
$15.97 for Valvoline conventional
$16.23 for GTX
$17.88 for Motorcraft
I remember when most of these jugs were $10-$14. Stupid inflation.
$12.97 for SuperTech
$13.24 for Havoline
$13.97 for Mobil Super 5000

Well my local Walmart doesn't carry the motorcraft,nor havoline and those prices are less than half of what they charge us here.
Our only salvation is that PP will go on sale for 22ish per big jug,PYB drops to 11ish per jug,Valvoline conventional went to under 10 per jug once iirc.
We are getting royally raped up here.
But gas went down to a buck a litre,down from 1.25,but on its way back up again.

Seem pretty close to prices neat me, except we don't have Havoline. I also think the Pennzoil conventional would be more than the Valvoline conventional. They still have a few jugs of Val NxtGen which I think they clearance for $10 when you scan it.
Yeah, I remember when the Super Tech stuff was like $7.50 or something like that not all that long ago. The Super Tech synthetic was under $18 only a few years ago.

If a synthetic is a choice, Quaker State Ultimate Durability and 5k ocis.
Sounds like you have a very severe service cycle
How about a syn-blend?

If Walmart started to stock the Mobil conventional products again, maybe we'd see some attractive pricing.
The Mobil Super 1000 is regularly rolled back at CT, but CT never sells their stuff as cheap as WM anyhow, so it's not an accurate comparison.
