wally world is normally cheaper on mobil one, thats where i normally buy it. but when i was at the one in north scottsdale last weekend i noticed the same thing. allmost none on the shelf. but they had a sign posted that said sorry for the shortage of mobil products, that thier refinerys had been hit in the storm, and there was a shortage. i have yet to check out autozone or any of the other discount auto parts places. glad we have 7 quarts on the shelf at my work!

I see they jumped their filter prices too ! UP THREE DOLLARS !! Was 9.99 5 months ago, now 12.99 Let alone the oil now at 6.99 ! :jaw-dropping:

Just got a email from Mobil.Apologizing about the shortages. But at least got a $10 coupon toward next purchase. :laughing1:(When its back in stock)

Mobil synthetic is good. But next time, I'm using Royal Purple. :veryhappy:

RP additive package breaks down waaaaaaay to quickly for my taste.

Don't use it unless you change the oil very frequently.

I was in Walmart two days ago looking at oil and they were fully stocked on everything including Mobil. Williamsfield/Market in Gilbert. :) I'm going tonight to contemplate over oil, and I'll let you know.

I can't decide if I should stick with Castrol GTX conventional (what's been in the car since day 1) or switch to Motocraft semi (used on my old 6), or Mobil 1 XD This will be the first oil change on my new '03 62k GT. Not to start a new convo!

Take that back, running very low.

And I meant first oil change I've personally done.

Is that due already? I thought I just changed it.
I wouldn't go full synthetic. The motor craft semi should be fine also.
The car burned no oil between changes.

Due in 900 miles, but I felt like buying it a little early. And I did end up going with the motorcraft semi-syn with K&N filter.
