Mobil 1 stupid-cheap at Wal-Mart

Just picked up 3 jugs of 5W30 for my oil change and for the next one, since the deals are borderline crackhead-ish. 21.99 FOR 5 QUARTS! So, for anyone prepping for an oil change soon, go now.

They also spec 5W-40 as an alternative, but you are better off with the 5W-30, it is a better quality oil usually. Extended viscosity additives can diminish other properties of the oil.

I agree on the deal...I picked up a 5 qt jug of M1 5W-30 the other day,
for the first oil change on the CEO's new Tucson...it was 19.99 at the
WalmartNation store here in HillbillyHeaven. Amazing price.
