Where's everybody getting a good deal on Mobil 1 ESP Formula 0W-40 these days?

Usually if you sign up for their email list you also get a $10 off coupon.

Tasca has it for $7.07 a quart as well with some shipping Part #19353135 Quoted me $91 shipped to NC for 11 quarts.

Just can't bring myself to put a 0w oil in my car.
:fear:


I had been running Valvoline 5w40 dexos2, but now discontinued.
Ended up ordering two cases of Amalie 5w40 dexos2 as choices are limited.

GM has an outdated Dexos list with many not currently available here or anymore.

Look but didn't see the Mobil 1 0w40 at local stores and like I said, don't think I could do it.

That's only when it's cold, so you get superior oil flow at startup. That's one of the main benefits of 0w-40 vs 5w-XX

Damn, I just bought 12 Qts & a filter off eBay for $114. Wish this was brought up then lol

Amazon has the 6 pack it for $53 and change on prime.

It's still a 0w oil with an additive package to make it act like a 40 weight when hot. I'd rather start with a more substantial base.
My car lives in a garage so cold flow is less critical, never really gets below 45º in the dead of winter.
The engine was designed and speced to work with 5w so no issues.

Now if it lived outside and was a daily driver, then in the winter I might think about running it, but as it stands, no thanks.

Then, Mobil 1 came out with 0w-40 and Chevy, the makers of the car that is "speced" for 5w-30 said "We'll use 0w-40 moving forward".

Agreed, as long as you use Dexos2 it should also be good for reducing carbon buildup and preserving the cats.

Yup, while 5w will work fine I do trust that the Chevy engineers are telling us the 0w-40 M1 ESP is better because it actually is and not because (insert conspiracy theory here).

That's how I ended up ordering the Amalie. Trying to keep the oil Dexos while trying to keep the viscosities that I'm comfortable using.

On the GM Dexos list there were a number of Dexos 5w40 oils, but finding one available ended up being more difficult.

Yep, I ran the Valvoline 5/40 for over 2 1/2 years in my 17. Then they changed the formulation and dropped Dexos cert. Hadn't seen any 5/40's that are Dexos. How much is that Amalie? I will be getting my one free oil change next month using the Mobil 1 ESP 0-40 from the dealer. I will pay close attention to see if I can tell any differences whatsoever. I used some of my left over Valvoline 5/30 Dexos at about 1800 miles.

good deal here:
