I thought the same thing, I figured when I drop a bottle(which I probably will) maybe I can get it picked up before the small fortune all runs out. I'm sticking with it though, suppose to be some good stuff!

I hear Mobil 1 isn't what it used to be but I also use it in everything I own.

I just switched to the Amsoil AMO 10w-40 per Marc Haibeck's advice. Found it locally for no more than any online price I came across, less shipping costs.

I've been using Mobil 1 but switching to Amsoil as per Marc's write up.

DMark · 03-31-2008

I'm now using 10W40 Mobil 1 High Mileage because its as near as we'll get to the original M1.

And 5qts jugs are still $21 at Walmart.
