You can't get Mobil1 0W-40 ESP Formula in a 5qt jug, only single quarts...

The Mobil 1 ESP 0W-40 is the Dexos-2 approved oil. The Mobil 1 European formula and the other types are not Dexos-2. Some are Dexos-1 and much cheaper. The ESP is $10 a quart normally.

Good find. Since the AZ deal is good till 4/4, it may coincide with a potential Mobil rebate that appears 4/1, making the deal even better.

Probably should've put this in the LT1/LT4 forums. The LT motors need GM dexos2 0W-40 ESP formula which is very hard to find at even $9/qt normally. I can get it down to $8.50/qt if I wanted to buy 55 gallons, but this deal let me stock up on 50 qts at $5.93/qt.

I only drive my cars about 7000 miles a year and most every car I buy comes with the first 3 or 4 oil changes free and on top of that I trade cars often. I don't think ive bought oil or paid for an oil change in 7 years now. But this is a good deal... but think of all the stp oil filters being trashed LOL

I can get it to $75.98 (before tax) for 10 quarts + 2 STP filters. When I try for a mobil 1 filter the site says "no longer available for this promotion."

So throwing out the STP filters gets me to $7.60 per qt.

You are throwing away a LOT of money, but if it works for you, good for you...

I absolutely love how everyone on this forum (including myself) are just going to be throwing STP filters away in the trash. Maybe there's another popular car that uses the same filter and we can offload it to the Mustang/Challenger crowd?

Thanks OP!

I had to run 4 transactions to get 20 quarts. I’m going to attempt exchanging the sto filters in store for the ac delco version. Fingers crossed.

THANKS OP!

Max amount is one 5qt/1 filter per transaction.

Also, interesting to note that it is 19 cents higher to pick it up in store than have it shipped.

Finally, the Pay Pal option gives you 4 months interest free to pay it off.
Nothing like playing with someone else's money for free!

It was a little bit on work, but I have the next 5 oil changes ordered!

Thanks, stocked up as well. Too bad they weren’t including the oem oil filter for our cars.

I was able to increase the item count in the cart. When I added 5 more quarts of oil and another filter then it automatically adjusted back to the sale price for everything.

But the "promotion price" is only for first 5. Check by yourself - total price raises by 10 bucks after you are above 5.

In my case I can add only till 6... Limit. And with a filter I will not use I will have 8 bucks per bottle vs 9 from Summit Racing. It's a buck less, but not as impressive as 45% Oh, and I cannot get both promotions at once - I get 2 filters in the cart, but only 5qt of oil... Something broken I guess. I don't know if it is worth a hassle (only 5, driving to local store) for 5 bucks savings, and guilt discarding filter :(

Hey, why are there so many STP filters on Ebay?
