Cool Mobil 5W-50 supply

I just received my 5W-50 order from ECS Tuning. Took almost 4 weeks because they didn't have it at the warehouse, but since I wasn't in a hurry, I didn't mind the wait(stocking up before summer ).
$7/qt, and the advantage is you can get 10 quarts instead of having to buy 2 cases (6qt each) like many suppliers sell.

Napa had a sale for $5.99/qt, but the next day it was already at $8.99, and they didn't have 10 qts in stock. So getting filter, little o ring, washers and oil from ECS was the best bet. Even with shipping, it beats sitting in traffic, no sales tax,and dealing with the auto parts guy that doesn't even know 5W-50 exists...

One more option for the future, the below distributor locator will show you the closest Mobil distributor. They typically supply all the stores in the area (and actually know the Mobil product lineup) so you might be able to get an even better deal if you bond with the guys and buy a few cases at a time!

Imagine buying it by the drum in the weight you want?

Must depend on the distributor. The one I worked with in SLC would sell by the case or even the quart. I bought by the case. I still have a case of 5W50 lying around...just need to find a porsche to put it in...tehehehe
