I haven't set up the mobil1 award card so will find out. Has anyone? Seems it would save me another $10 on 12qts

Thanks for the heads up. I picked up my 12 quarts along with a new battery for my son's car (with a 20% special weekend discount). Thanks also for the Mobil 1 rewards program lead.

Is this the diesel version Tom always raves about?

No, but it is fine stuff.

The diesel oil is 5W40 and would be about $12/gallon or $3/qt. From my Texaco days, that difference is in the ballpark for how much advertising costs are added to each gallon; $1 for Mobil 1 targeting automotive consumers and almost $0 per gallon for diesel oil.

Crappy that they don't ship the oil anymore. There aren't any Advance Auto stores near me and I've always been able to order oil and have it shipped in the past. I guess they changed their rules - maybe a quart of oil opened up in a UPS facility and someone fell on their butt or something...

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately their website keeps crashing on me. It finally popped up and said they were doing scheduled maintenance. I'll have to keep trying.

Are you guys running 0W-40 all the time or just at the track? Just curious, I use the suggested 10W30.

Question for you guys. I use the Mobil1 5W-40 Fully Synthetic Turbo Diesel Truck Motor Oil in my 510cc stroker with a paxton in my viper.

What do you think would be the difference using this oil? Should not have a problem right? To good of a deal to pass up.

I didn't see the option of getting the diesel oil or I would have gotten it first. I ordered the 0-40 European stuff. If I see the diesel stuff at teh store, I will ask to switch it up. EIther one will be fine :2tu:

Sounds good Mike. Yea I did that same. I clicked on the diesel and that was not offered at the discount. Might go down to the store and talk them into it. ha

Walmart had 5 quart jugs for $21 last month, I loaded up on Mobil 15w-50. They never have 0W-40 in stock but always have turbo diesel. This is a good deal from Advance Auto. Take advantage of it.

I called the store and they did not have that sale there. Said it must be a online only sale. So I ordered 24 online and picked them up. Had to have it shipped to two different stores as it would only give you the discount for 12 of them. Made two orders.

Grabbed 12 yesterday, in NJ.

Retailer was nice enough to call minutes after the online order, to let me know he had to run to another store to grab them, and would have them by afternoon.
