Mobil 1 is a blend of synthetic and dino oils. It is NOT a full true 100% synthetic oil.

My car is weekend driver/road-trip car. I'm sure it would be fine with dino oil, but an extra $5 for an oil-change-and-a-half worth of oil is worth it to me for synthetic.


Holy crap that is cheap. Walmart brand dino oil here is $17.

4.4L to 5L of name brand oil is often on sale for $25 - but the regular price is still $30 to $50!

I used to grab oil on any cross border shopping trip. Now I can't anymore

$17 CAD = $12.98 USD. They usually charge $12 for their regular dino oil here. The current price for Mobil 1 here would be $32.74 CAD. But you're right, the Supertech stuff is darn cheap.

Anyways, I'm only using I because it is actually cheaper than Royal Purple.

And I've been extending to once a year and 10000km

How much do you pay for shipping?

I always wait for Mobil 1 or Castrol Edge on sale for ~$28-30 and get a 4.4L/5L jug. It's working perfectly fine for me. I've never seen Amsoil on the shelf anywhere in Canada

I though they increased price alot lol seeing them listed at 52.85$ for a gallon lol

But if you get the membership, it comes to about the same price as Royal Purple. 35-40$ the gallon

Shipping is 10-15$ I buy 4 gallon at once and I'm good for 3-4 years.

I've been using RP for many years, but got fed up traveling almost 2hours round trip to get it, or pay for shipping. I used to get them for 37$ the gallon at performance improvements, but price has increased so I turned to Amsoil shipped to me home.


I'm likely not going with synthetic oil for my next car though.

It had 15.5k km on it and they recommended I go to 18k km as there was still 3.7 tbn left in the oil
