So I bought 6 at K-Mart yesterday. I've been feeding my 850 Mobil-1 for 10 years.

Saving a bucket of money has a funny way of bending loyalties.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Mobil-1 was on sale at Walmart for $22 for the 5-qt jug the other day. Actually a pretty good deal, seeing as it's $7/qt at Advance.

I miss buying cheap oil :(

The good news is, my car seems to have stopped eating it finally. YAY!
