For all of you that lives in an area with a Pep Boys,

They have a deal for 5 qts of Mobil 1 and a Mobil 1 filter for $29.99

It's for all viscosities of the standard Mobil 1. Not the high mileage stuff.

Seems like a really good deal. I can sometimes get a 5 qt jug of Mobil 1 at Walmart for about $23.50, but the filter is usually pretty pricey.

I'm pretty sure the limit is 2 so you can stock up.

 

How is that a good deal if it's only good for conventional oil? $30/5 = $6 per quart. Say the filter is worth $5, that's still $5 per quart. Mobil 1 isn't god's gift to lubrication, $5/qt is way too much for any conventional oil. Even if it is supposedly good for 5k miles. I'd rather spend $2 a quart and change it every 3,000.

 

mobil 1 filters are usually around 13 dollars, not 5
it isn't too much of a steal but still not bad, i don't mind saving 5-6 bucks

 

Advance Auto runs way better deals.

Last month it was 5 quarts of Valvoline SynPower (7.99 each) & a Bosch Distance Plus oil filter (13.49) for I think $24.99?

At any rate, I'm all for saving money I suppose.

Also, shouldn't this thread probably be in another forum?

 

Mobil 1 is not conventional oil, it's synthetic. Mobil Clean Drive is the conventional oil.

 

I didn't say conventional oil. I just said standard Mobil 1. As stated above all Mobil 1 is fully synthetic.

They just also have a high mileage version.

And considering it's at least $6 a quart on sale (regular price at Pep Boys is $7.50) and the Mobil 1 filter is at least $10 ($12 at Pep Boys) you are saving at least 10 bucks if not a bit more.

Just putting it out there. I don't work for them so I don't make anything.

But I am going back tomorrow to pick up another set for the next change of the wifes Odyssey.

 

Um Mobil 1 has always been synthetic.
I usually wait for Advanced's similar deal and grab the EP. these deals are pretty often, nothing special.

 

I thought you were referring to the conventional Mobil because of "standard" and "high mileage". I don't buy the stuff, slipped my mind that the "1" denotes synthetic. Such a rip off company though. What seems to be a great deal is actually priced relative to their competitors for a change.

 

people run conventional oil in the vq motors? lol. face palm...

 

Yep. 175,000 miles on the odometer, and not a drop of it burns, either.

 

I go to O'Reilly .. Castrol + Wix filter = <$30.

 

Anyone have any experience with the Q synthetic?

 

no need to wait for special deals with advance auto just use their coupons.
