Mobil 1 Oil at Walmart
I found Mobil 1 oil at a PA Walmart this week for $19.82 for a 5 quart jug. That's slightly less than $4 a quart.

They used to have it for $17.88 per 5 quart jug. Looks like there prices on it have gone up again.

My local Costco has sixpacks (6 quarts) for $23. Wish they had some Mobil Delvac 1 though...

Our local Wal Mart gets $17.88. The problem is that they get a truck load of it and two days later it's gone. You never know when you can find it there.
Have a great day, |

The Mobil 1 Truck & SUV 5w-40 oil ($4.77 qt in Wal Mart) is the same oil as Mobil Delvac 1 that's designed for diesels. The oil has the extra additive package to control soot in the oil. THe 15w-50 Mobil 1 does not have this additive package. That's not to say the 15w-50 Mobil 1 is not an excellent oil, it just that the Truck & SUV oil will handle the soot in the oil better.

Keep in mind that Wal-Marts in the same town often have different prices on the exact same items. From town to town it's a given...Wal-Mart is evil...

What is the advantage of running synthetics in our diesels? I've heard many times that the synths have a tendency to completely drain down to the pan overnight and leave nothing in the top end when you cold start. I remember years back when my uncle used it in his Honda Prelude he ended up with a lot of premature valvetrain wear.

One of the big deals that is never discussed by makers of synthetic oils is the big time increase in film strength over conventional oil's. That's really important in a diesel with the higher loading of the crank and rod bearing from the way a diesel ingnites fuel.

I've never used synth oil mainly on the basis of higher cost. I guess the "bumb" info further turned me against it. I do remember reading that back in the '80's, Mazda's warranty on their rotary engines would be voided if you used synth oil in them.
Sorry to hijack the thread. I wonder what would 240Joe's take on synth oil would be?

For what its worth, I am about 2000 miles into a switch to Delvac 1 from dino. I have a 84 300D I bought about 10,000 miles age (for $1700!) so far so good, no oil use and it may be my imagination but it seems quieter (?) Bought a 4 gallon case from the local distrutor for $98 after tax.
