Mobil 1 is excellent I have been using it for 30 years in Porsche’s BMW, Audi VW, etc. been using that 0w40 forever. Only exception was my v8 power e92 m3 which required Castro’s racing 0w 60

By the way there is an article out there by the owner of Black Stone oil laboratories The premier oil testing lab in the United States he says it’s more important that you change your oil before it deteriorates and wet which brand you use , I think he mentions that he uses the cheapest available

Not sure about cheapest oil. I think for forced induction engines I would stick with good synthetics at the recommended grades. Will use Dino under emergencies and drive the car gingerly.

Cheapest does not always equal lowest quality. Perfect example is the M1 shown here

No I don't think it is fraudulent and honestly didn't look at it. I haven't had time to look for stuff like this and one offs don't interest me when I have better deals available so I keep to consistency with what I know will (allegedly hah!) always be available. Yes, let me spend hours finding the best deal of

I paid just about $35 for every change on my Mazda 6, and spend an initial $80 for both my BMWs but end up with a $20 bill once I send the oil back now.

DOrtiz - I don't go to a dealership or anyone else for my oil changes or ANY of my work, I don't know what sparked your comments. I get everything from FCPEuro, I do 6-7k Oil changes, and I get reimbursed.

Maybe I went about it the wrong way, it wouldn't be the first time. I was just trying to give the most cost effective and overall reliable way for a cheap oil change.

How are you getting reimbursed for oil changes?

Fcp euro accepts used oil and filter purchased from them. You get reimbursed when you purchase new and ship used oil back.
