so does this also apply for mobil's extended performance oil?

http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/...rformance.aspx

i just ask cause i sometimes buy my oil from walmart, the regular mobil syn is ~$22 for the 5 qt jug, and ~$29 for the extended.

 

From what I know it covers all M1.

 

I have a change coming up this weekend. I'm really on the fence with this.. I've had m1 in for 3 1/2 years, since 5k.. now at 36k.

The service writers at my dealer are really straight forward. They know I do my own changes and assumed I used M1. They have made several comments that I really shouldn't use it on the VQ. I showed them my Blackstones and we agreed that it seemed ok for me.. They were mostly relaying what they had heard from Infiniti. I always assumed it was a ploy to stop people from going with extended mileage. As we know, regardless of oil, after 7500, the Vq just doesnt do so well.

But, I cant ignore all the negative feedback on M1/VQ.

I located some German Castrol, $6,19 a qt. The money doesnt bother me, I just cant make the leap to 0W-30. I always change before 4k, so thats probably a waste anyway. what to do.. what to do..

 

anyone else tried Eneos other then me on here?... im not 100% sure if its a group IV oil but for $9 a quart it better be lol... anyone know if there would be any benefit to runnnig a 0w30 in so cal? I know Eneos makes one but im not sure what to make of it, but my next oil change will definately be this same oil

 

I just picked up 5 bottles of GC 0W-30 at my local AutoZone for $6.19 each then they gave my $8.50 discount as total deal discount. I am thinking about get some more tomorrow.

 

just changed my oil to that castrol 0w 30 and i put in some lucus with it. so far so good. got the last 4 at autozone.

 

I just bought some at the same price. HOW did you get the discount?

 

+1
How did you get the discount? I just got some too and they didn't give me anything.

 

May be they try to get rid of it.

 

When doing oil change is it necessary to put in cheap dino oil to drain and clean out all the old oil before putting in the new old?

 

Thats overkill, and you'll have to wait quite a while to let all the new oil you poured in to drain

 

Sometimes I will pour an extra 1/2qt I have sitting around in when the old oil is about out to catch any other crap.

 

Autozone had GC 0W-30 for $4.49 start March 8 through Apr 7.

 

Time to go stock up for next winter!

 

you know if that sale is at all autozones or just your local one?
