this is the 15/50 extended service Mobil on for about $23 to $25 per gallon
at walmart. It has been around at least our parts for a year and a half.
This is the extended service stuff. I used to use the 15/50 regular Mobil 1
sys until my supplier quite carrying it. Advance Auto parts carries the
extended service stuff still.
I may just switch to Amsoil. We are getting into a weird area here where
supply for oil is so spotty.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] what is going on with Mobil 1
I stopped last week at the place in Iowa city I found to be much less
expensive than anywhere else. The truck & suv was gone, but they had a
"new" 15W-50, diesel rated, with a GOLD cap for more money. I got 12
anyway. Still less than the rest. Don't know what is going on with it,
but it is making me nervous. If it is SO good, why are they screwing
around with it?
Maybe we should all sign up under johnny B and make him the Amsoil baron
superhero.
I ran valvoline turbo for years, until they pulled it and took off the c
rating for everything else. As near as I could tell the valvoline turbo
was a good oil for dino oil.
