Default 35% off Stuff at Pep Boys (including M1 V-Twin 20w-50)

It's that time of the year again! Pep Boys is offering 35% off orders through August 3rd. This includes the forum favorite Mobil 1 V-Twin 20w-50 engine oil. Their regular price is $10.99 per quart for this oil so 35% off results in a unit price of $7.14 per quart.

Use the code 35PEP to have this discount reflected in your online shopping cart.

I've run this oil in my 993 for several oil-change cycles and have been pleased with it. That said I'm giving Total Quartz Racing 10w-50 a try due to my mechanic's insistence.

Let's not turn this into another engine oil debate thread. This is just a "heads up" on a deal for those that might be interested.

I just tried to order ...their checkout won't give me any discount! Then I looked at their fine print:

"...Excludes the following categories: Tires, Wheels, Batteries, Powerstop Brake Kits, Oil..."

Were you guys actually successful in getting the 35% off?

It worked fine for me before making the post. Maybe Pep Boys is catching on...?

So the 1750 ppm zinc in this stuff does not damage cats?

35% Off worked for me on M1 (zinc). Maybe it is the Motorcycle Oil that gets by. Would not work on other Oil or Griot's supplies. Still a savings on Turbo Oil

Thanks for the heads up!

Hmmm, maybe the Mob 1 motorcycle oil is what slips by then. I tried 3x to order 15w/50 as well as 0W/40 and was unsuccessful. Oh well, at least Wallymart has it everyday at close to this sale price...

It does clog/damage cats...

I mix it 50/50 with the regular 20w-50w Mobil 1 synthetic, which contains 1200 ppm zinc, for a 1475 ppm total.

My order went right through!
