where can i get mobil 1 at lol!
 

idk if theres a shortage of the mobil 1 5w30 but i went all over the place today and not one place so far has mobil 1 5w30.

anyone in my area know of any place that might have it?
or has anyone used royal purple i can get that anywhere.

pepboy or advanced auto

Sams Club

dont have a sams club card and advance didnt have it along with autozone, walmart, sears, k mart and target

Napa :) i got plenty here :P

buy wise

well i called my friend jose at my old dealership job and he had some there so he hooked me up with employee price

there is a problem with mobil 1 shutting down a factory in the midwest or something. walmarts are out of mobil 1 and arent getting any faster.


your gonna have to pay a little extra for it buying it by the qt at an auto store

(walmart had 5 qt jugs at a good price)

BJ's has a ton of it. I was there a few days agao.

my garage haha i have boxes

FYI, M1 sucks for LS1s. its the worst oil you could put in it. id rather use any conventional oil then M1. i gave away about 10qts last year because id never use it again.

then why does it say it on my cap?



''Gm Recommends the use of Mobil 1 5w30''



royal purp is too expensive...but is awesome...and syntec blows hard. m1 is the only other choice locally.

i use rotell T 15w40 in my lt-1 the best oil hands down

Thats not stock

i use rotell T 15w40 in my lt-1 the best oil hands down

^^^^

Yeah, well they took the zinc out of it... i'd reccommend delo or delvac now.

They didn't remove it, but did reduce the amount.

diesel oil???????

Yes, diesel oil. Not needed in an LT1/LS1 but works wonders in a flat tappet engine. Does a great job of keeping everything clean, however, with the detergent formulation they use.

I used Pennzoil Platinum in my LS1 and had great success with it... no consumption or burning with the 5-30 flavor. Used M1 once and never again, ate oil like a bandit.

HD40!

It is called marketing. GM gets a deal on oil, Mobil gets a nice subtle advertising program.

i used to use german castrol in my lt1

Royal purple and Royal Purple only.

german castrol and nothing else. look around ls1tech for the actual physical results of oil tests in LS1s. GC wins hands down. any autozone has it, and now so does R&S strauss, even cheaper there.

They took it out of Rotella T? Damn, that was one of the only ones that still had a good level of zinc in it.

German Castrol? How does one tell the difference?

I have noticed M1 5w30 being absent from my shelves recently. Valvoline 5w30 should do the trick as well. They are currently advertising it being 4x better at protecting then M1.
