Mobil 1 5w30 synthetic $19.xx / 5 qt container at WalMart
Some type of roll back or over stock price. I grabbed 2 5qt containers. Someone else mentioned that they reduced their prices because they went to 4qts. Not true. It says 5qts on the container.

I went and got some for the wife's g and for my camaro. That's the lowest I've ever seen it and if you buy it by the 5 quart containers it's like $10 cheaper. They had a crap load of it too. I don't think they'll be running out anytime soon.

German Castrol FTW!!

This, after you making the claim that M1 is not even a true synthetic oil anymore, in the traditionally accepted definition of, "synthetic oil".
Interesting.

Mobil 1 0W-40 is a good OTC oil, but as for the 5w- and 10w- oils:

Amsoil ASL 5W-30- It's a decent oil, but it has consistantly shown high lead wear and the TSO 0W-30 has performed better with more mileage on it between oil changes. If you like Amsoil, then get the better performing TSO for the same money.
Royal Purple 5W-30- This is the worst performing oil to date, with high wear numbers and high shear. However, I only have been sent one UOA on this oil so it is not an average result.

As for no remaining stock of German Castrol, I just picked up 10 qts at my local Autozone. They had at least 15 more on the shelf, and the other AZ in my town has just as many left. I posted a thread asking if anybody wanted me to pick some up for them a couple of weeks ago.

Let me break it down: 1) It is true that Mobil 1 is not longer a group IV synthetic so
2) When did I ever say it wasn't good oil? So again

Interesting info. Schaeffer's is synthetic and damned expensive!
The 0-40 Mobil seems interesting as it seems to flow more like a 30 w. Also the Penzoil platnium seems good. It was about $20.xx for a 5 qt jug. I think that was the normal price.
I didn't notice if the 0w 40 was on sale though
