Valvoline, no more easy pour spout

[wemay]

What are ya paying for the EP version? I'm asking because I wanted to delve into Valvoline but by me (NY) the price is higher than Mobil 1 EP so not worth it to me.

First price hike, then ridiculous Ads, then this?

What, they just lost me as a customer. I thought that feature was a differentiating value besides their product.

This decade is starting to be a real bummer

It's up to $32/jug here. AFS is up to $26-27/jug.

Do vehicles in Florida magically not recommend certain oils/weights for vehicles?

The newest vehicle that I own was made in 2009 - I don't keep up with what manufacturers recommend on vehicles that I do not own.

Do many cars spec 0w-20? Honest question.

It’s about $34 by me with Mobil 1EP next to it at $32.

Just bought 2 jugs of 0W-20 EP from Walmart online for $28.32 each. After rebate $23.32, not bad.

Probably the most common grade for GM since 2014ish, Honda since 2011-12 and Toyota since 2011. So yes.

It’s probably the most common grade now.

Beside the easy pour spout they did away with the clear screw top cap which you could see the tamper proof pull away foil seal. That was the best setup to check if the jug had been opened before.

Great hated those easy pour spouts. The EP was $32.47/5qt jugs which was higher than Mobil 1 last time I noticed

That sounds like a personal problem.

I got in on that last sale/rebates a few months back. Got 8 jugs for $17/jug AR. /peep

I just hate no friggin' handle on top.

And besides, until other companies come out with a "Run Like New" oil, I'm sticking with M1.

The AFS is $26.xx and the EP is $28.xx. It went back on Rollback about a week ago. Mobil1 is also on Rollback.

It's like SOPUS now, no seal under the cap either.
