Napa has single quarts of mobile1 when you purchase online
$4.99 is pretty decent deal

Also, check at Walmart because occasionally they sell a 5 quart jug of Mobile1 for $15. At my local store, I always ask a given friendly Walmart guy who (upon mention of their occasional $15 price) will discount the normal ~$26 price to $15 just for asking. Got two two jugs last time...

Napa is a great place to buy Mobil 5W50.

I have a question.

Is the Mobil 1 that you buy here at Walmart or Napa, the same that they sell in Europe (for instance the one that Porsche includes from factory)

Because I have seen here, some webs where they sell it like "European formula"

In Europe there is not such "european formula" label, just Mobil 1, but its true, that the label is different to the one that here is mobil 1

Retorical question I have:

"Is Mobil 1 the same Mobil 1 that Porsche originally recommended for their engines?"

Charles Navarro's explanation of the new Porsche oil recommendations:

Bottom line for me: for the street, only Driven DT-40 from now on.

Great news.

But I am waiting for that special, top secrete brew coming from some unknown laboratory in the middle east.

Lots of rumors but a few fact checkers have confirmed the extra virgin oil additive is from IRAN.

Stay tuned for Jake's announcement.

Remember, if you have to ask the price you cant afford it.

Walmart gets man many name brand products made specially for them,, to their spec.
Check the specifications on their Goodyear tires, Batteries, compare the info on the Mobile 1 jugs to Jugs from NAPA.


Just sayin,, Walmart will send you to hell and wont care.

I realize that Walmart has some products manufactured to their negotiated specifications but Mobil claims that is not the case with Mobil1 oil. They say it is the same product.

All I can say is the labels don't match.. And the oil is visibly different when you pour it,
and my Jeep rattles like a can of rocks with the Walmart 10w40 Mobile1.
Quiet as a mouse with the stuff I get from Oreilly.. YMMV

Their goodyear wrangler tires are 1 ply less than other "Wranglers"

ALL their home electronics are walmart specific and substantially lower quality in my opinion..
