Mobil 1 5w-30 Synthetic

[erod]

Anyone running this oil? Found 6 quarts for $30, seems like a good price. Currently running 5w-30 AMSoil for like $7 a quart, any thoughts on these two comparatively? Just thought I'd ask .

LOL, asking about which oil might as well ask about your religion and politics, too! Mobil 1 is good, so is Amsoil. Don't think you can go wrong. What's more important is that you pick one and stick with it, mixing brands isn't ideal since sometimes additives and detergents can react. The stuff I use is easy to find in the weights I want and so by that logic I would say Mobil 1 as it's very common. Oh, and I own ExxonMobil stock, so the more you buy, the better.

I run that brand of synthetic along with the Mobile-1 M102 filter. I've been running it since ~25k, changing it every 4k miles. No problems really, just a tad pricey.

I get the 6 quart box at Sams club for around $30. I go by the GM oil life monitor which usually runs around 6000 miles between charges.

That is the oil I use. Well, the 0W30 Mobil 1.

6 quarts for $30 is smokin.

two years ago it was $25.88 for 6, its now $29.88. Still not bad and at every 6k for 60k miles thats under $300 in oil and 10 oil filters at $3.97 so under $400 for maintenance in 60k is decent.

Run it in the winter on My Suburban. I run the 10w30 summer but it is hard to find some times. About to switch my Toy over to Mobile 1 as well. 5-6k change interval.

The 0W30 uses the most advanced viscosity modifiers of any oil available to consumers. Rapid viscosity change means better protection. Great additive pack too. Increased fuel economy is another advantage.
