Each to his own, there are a lot of people who throw away money on synthetic oils that I consider an obscene, stupid, overpriced waste of dollars, but hey, it's your equipment you treat it as you please. :laughing::laughing:

So, tell us, how many vehicles do you have to care for?

JD you assume that I paid full retail but you know what they say about people that assume you wind up looking like the first three letters in the word ASSume. :laughing:

I have a large oil stash I buy it when the price is right not wait till I need it.

What is in my car now I got a $15.00 per 5 quart rebate on but advance auto had a $10.00 instant rebate on any purchase over $20.00 so i printed several coupons and went to AA and bought a 5 quart jug gave them my 10 dollar instant rebate and got the oil for $11.00.

I sent my wife in to buy one also.

Then on the way to the Meijers store I stopped at the south side AA and bought 2 more jugs.

I sent in the rebates under my name and my wife/daughter and a friend so I got 40 bucks instant rebate at AA and got 60 bucks back from SOPUS so they paid me 16 dollars to use there oil.

Still sound stupid and overpriced
Maybe you are the one paying too much for your oil. :biggrin:

Can the BS because I don't believe you....PERIOD. You got 20 quarts of oil for free and a $16 buck cash payment? BULL ROAR. I WILL NEVER BELIEVE THAT.

Hmmmmmmmm?

AND, to get a $15 mail in rebate on 5 quarts of Mobil 1 you have to buy one of those way, way overpriced Mobil 1 oil filters too....did you mention that?

Here is MY oil stash, what with sale prices and rebates, etc. my conventional oil stash (about 90 quarts) cost me about $1.45 per quart, and a lot of it is diesel oil. Figure out your OVERALL cost per quart for a 3 to 4 year supply, and then tell me who is paying too much for oil...

IMO synthetic is WAY, WAY overpriced compared to conventional oils. WAY OVERPRICED. And except in very extreme operating conditions it provides no better engine protection. Nowhere enough to justify paying 2X-3X the price of conventional oil.
