Mobil 1 here at AA is $30 per 5 quarts, it has been a LONG TIME since it was sold for $21 for 5 quarts.

Well I could care less what you believe but it is true.
Where did the Mobil-1 come from I said nothing about Mobil-1 maybe you don't know what SOPUS stands for.
I bought Pennzoil and it is made by Shell Oil products of US

Mobil had a 15 dollar rebate last spring but I didn't buy any because I have too much on hand now.

Current Mobil rebate here.

Current price on Mobil-1 at my local Wal-Mart is $23.47 last fall it was $21.00

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.

And you are 100% right :thumbsup:

The only reason i would use synthetic is in a diesel that has to sleep outside in the winter cause it'll start easier

At the motor parts store I buy my oil from, there is only a price difference of about £5/$8 between Mineral oil and Synthetic.

Personally, I use Synthetic, as it doesn't cost that much more, and in the long run, it will help my engine last longer, and also quietens the lifters a lot. With Mineral oil they really knock.

Thank you.

On my JD that I use to push snow in winter I have a battery tender and also a heater plugged in. It starts really fast no matter how cold it is. Our last car was a '92 Olds 98, it came from the factory with an OEM block heater. The coolant temp would be at 100 degrees no matter how cold it was outside if I left it plugged in overnite.

MINERAL OIL???? :confused2::confused2: Do you know what MINERAL OIL is here in the USA? No wonder your engine knocks if that is what you use.

What are you using synthetic oil in?

Here, mineral oil is mainly used to remove ladies's makeup, and season wood cutting boards, utensils, bowls, etc. The only mechanical application it has...hydraulic fluid, cutting oil, and lubricant...BUT NOT FOR ENGINES !!!!!

Again, language difficulties.
Mineral oil=Fossil fuel=Motor oil.
Terminology like Boot, Bonnet, Wing etc. just cultural differences.

WRONG
What most refer to as conventional oil has a mineral oil base.
Group I Group II and Group III all use a mineral oil base.

Well here in the UK "Conventional" oil says "Mineral Oil" on the bottle.

I'm using Synthetic in our cars (1997 Ford Fiesta 1.25 Litre with 77,800 miles & 1998 Rover 200 1.6 Litre with 78,300 miles). I use 5W30 grade in the Ford, and 10W40 grade in the Rover. Both run fantastically and get high MPG.

In the mower (2011 Mountfield SP414 2.6HP) I'm using Mountfield MX855 oil, which is a high quality oil, however I'm unsure as to whether it is Synthetic or not.
