[pridenJoy]

Pepboys has mobil 1 synthetic motoroil on sale right now for 3.99, their calendar which costs a dollar has a coupon for buy 3 get 3 free...

end result $2.33+ tax for a quart after you factor in the cost of the calendar

Thought this may help anyone looking to go synthetic with their next oil change...

just came back from Pep Boyz! got 3 calenders for 3 dollars-and tons of savings-with coupons from the calendars,here is what I got-3 FREE bottles of Techron,3 FREE bottles of "wax as u dry",3 FREE bottles of Rain X car wash,and 18 quarts of M1 for 36 dollars!not a bad day at all!anyone think using M1 0w-40 would be a good idea in the Q?,even though the manual recommends 5 or 10w-30?

[PalmerWMD]

The M1 0w-40 is an excellent idea in a Q in an older one all year around in a brand new one summer only.

Its one of my 2 favorite oils right now.

Fred,

I'm pretty sure you've anwsered this before, but I just can't remember.

Do you have any technical objection to stocking up on M1 given the present good deal available?

I've got a 93 J30 , 2001 3/4 ton suburban with an 8.1L and 4.10 gear and a 1990 Master Craft 240sc Ski boat with a HO454 to feed and care for. I typically run 5w-30 in the J and put 5w-40 in the burb last change and 15w-50 in the boat. The burb shows higher start up oil pressure w/ 5w-40 vs 5w-30 and has a more noticeable piston skirt knocking on start up than with the 5w-30. I'll be going back to the 5w-30 for the winter. Thought the higher 40 might be better in the Tucson desert heat. Didn't really like the 5w-40 start up.

Thanks, Matt

PS As a Chemist myself, I always look forward to your responses. I'm not a praticing one anymore so it is good to hear the tech speak once in a while. I deal with other bad actors now.
