Default Mobil 1 15w50 at costco

Looks like Costco now carries 15w50. 6 quart pack costs $29. A little cheaper than Target for me. It's not the extended performance.

This is great news Nelson!
Mobil 1 15W-50 is being reintroduced based on popular demand. Mobil 1 15W-50 provides higher viscosity, designed to provide extra protection for performance vehicles and vehicles that operate in severe service, such as towing, hauling and racing. Additionally, Mobil 1 15W-50 contains higher levels of anti-wear (ZDDP or Zinc DialkylDithioPhosphate) that may be required for certain racing applications and camshaft designs. This is a new Mobil 1 15W-50 formulation and is not the same as the product that was marketed a few years ago.

What do the Oil experts think of Mobil 1High Mileage 10W-40?

http://www.mobil1.com/USA-English/Mo...ge_10W-40.aspx

As your engine ages, seals deteriorate, oil burn-off increases and sludge can build up, which can all result in a decrease in engine performance and, ultimately, reduce engine life. Mobil 1® High Mileage 10W-40 is designed to maximize engine performance and help extend engine life. Mobil 1 High Mileage is designed especially for engines where conventional oil has been used, and where these conditions have been experienced:
    For engines where heavy deposits and sludging exist, we recommend initial oil change intervals of 3,000 miles as cleanup progresses. Mobil 1 High Mileage 10W-40 is designed for higher mileage vehicles and provides the following benefits:

      The Extended Performance sells on Amazon for $7.99 a quart. Anyone know how that price compares?

      There was an excellent thread on Pelican a while back.

      Mobil have reformulated the Mobil 1 15W50 oil and reduced the phosphorous content in it...

      Seems like the stuff might need a little additive to help the older engines.

      There's a LOT of good info from this guy here: http://www.lnengineering.com/oil.html

      and thre thread on Pelican was here. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showt...hreadid=332678
