Mobil-1 5W-30 does not meet SM/SL standards? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Interesting. I had already been planning to switch to SynPower simple because (at Walmart) it's $19 for a 5 quart jug vs. $26+ for Mobile 1.

Me too...I'm due for an oil change and was considering making the switch from Mobil 1; this cements the deal.

used it for 4,500 mile stint in the '08 Liftback . You'll find good U.O.A.s at http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums...Board=3&page=1 . I got 4 quarts of the SYNPOWER awhile ago at K-MART for $2.99 each . There's a $10 rebate for VALVOLINE as well . Go to http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums...266764&fpart=1 and click on VALVOLINE REBATE in 1st post which will take you to the rebate that has been extended to FEBRUARY 2nd of 2009 ( disregard the expiration date of DECEMBER 31 , 2008 ) . That'll make the 5 quart jug $9.99 , thus $2 a quart for the SYNPOWER synthetic .

Gid being the bargain hunter:
$10 off coupon ( mial in rebate) at valvoline site on 5qts of Synpower - I saw this while watching a vid of their testing lab which is cool

now where do I buy synpower at the cheapest price???

I may not want it though - I still think synpower its a grpIII mix. I want the jet engine oil! polyol=ester or di=ester. This is the ONLY real stuff in my book and is the "old school syn people think about. Make GOBS of power and leaks out all over the place - gotta love it.

This is the real stuff HERE> http://www.kemopro.com/productinfo/engine.html

but I dont know if I trust the blender

Crapo! I just fully read Gid's post above about the rebate too - I shoulda known he would be on this like a rabid dog on a red squirrel
