For those of you who may use Mobil 1, NAPA has it on sale for $5.99 a quart this month.

Are you still able to order the 5Q jugs? Last time I tried it wouldn't let me. I was able to place the order but then they canceled the it the next day.

And I haven't been able to find any 5Q jugs at any of the local walmarts around me.

No idea about where you live, but I saw them for ~$25 about a week ago in a store.

Wal-Mart has had 5qt jugs of M1 for $24-25 for a few years now...

Not by the QUART it's not.................yeah 5 qt. is cheaper, but I was pointing out the quart price. I can walk to my NAPA (if I used Mobil 1) Wal-Mart is about 16 miles.

FYI, Boxer engines hate Mobil 1 oil, don't know what about Mobil 1 it is but I know most Suby guys wont run it because the UOA's show excess wear.

I havent really burned any like people would complain about (had an sti for 3 years prior to this car). Im at 45k miles and used M1 about half the time. About to aend in a UOA to find out if it holds true for this motor.

Wow, I just posted this in another thread.

Boxer engines do not hate any brand. In certain driving conditions, especially modified, turbocharged boxers prefer a more robust oil than the typical Resource Conserving oils which are designed to shear for fuel economy. Mobil1 0W-40 is an excellent choice for these applications. Mobil1 is the most popular synthetic oil in the world. You can probably point me to a turbocharged boxer uoa on Mobil1 where M1 5W-30 sheared to a 20 grade, but that's not unusual at all. Not so sure that there are uoa's showing excess wear.

There is absolutely zero uoa evidence (that I have seen) showing that Mobil1 0W-20 or 5W-20 is not a good choice in a BRZ/FR-S.
