Wsup fellas, for those of you who didn't know..
Pepboys is having a sale for valvoline engine oil..
It's 5 qts + Fram filter for ~$29.99 + tax
I don't know how long this will last..
I went in last week and bought 15 qts..

You have to get the fram filter for this special..

How much for mobil 1 synthetic instead?

i used to use Mobil 1, but I decided to try something new for the following reasons:
I've changed my oil about 5 times now, 4 with Mobil 1 and 500 miles ago, Valvoline.
Mobil 1 fully synthetic 0w-30 is what I used until now.
My first change was at 5k, the next was at 4k and the last was at 3,500 and every time, the oil was as dark as night! I don't know what the reason was, but it's just unsettling to me so I'm trying something different. Everyone says that it would've been fine to go "maybe" 5k with Mobil 1 or any synthetic for that matter, but thinking about all that black oil running through my engine bothered me a lot.
I've discussed the issue with the technician that changes my oil and we came to the conclusion that maybe the oil is just initially dark so it gets black faster. However, whatever the case may be, black is still black and black engine oil, intuitively, doesn't seem like the way to go.

I drive in normal los angeles traffic and don't push my car too much.. I honestly don't know what the problem is or if there even IS a problem.. All I know is black oil = bad..

If anyone else had a similar experience with Mobil 1 or if I'm just straight trippin, feel free to chime in..

that's tiiiiight.. maybe I'll just go to you guys next time..
I usually buy my own oil and pay $15 to a nearby technician..

i just gotta find out how far you guys are now.. lolz..

it's good to know that some sponsors are fair and cheap unlike others who charge about double for an oil change..
