...I don't go to Autozone.....

To save money (just on the Balt), I've been considering going from Mobil 1 to a synthetic blend oil. At least to me, I have not got the same benefit like I got with the Cav...(Granted, the Cobalt has been on Quaker State dino until the last oil change, which was Mobil 1.)

Anyways, AZ has a decent deal, 5 qts of Valvoline Durablend and a Bocsh oil filter for 20 bucks.

I wanted to see if my filter was included (since it tends to be a bit more)

The guy asked me what I was running now. Mobil 1, of course.

Then the guy proceeds to tell me that once I use a full synthetic, I cannot go back, or the car will blow up.

Then, he decides to get his manager to tell me how stupid I would be to do this, and how they would rather not have me buy the Valvoline so I don't decide to sue or something if my car blows up.

I'm like-

I'm pretty good with oils, and I have done my research, and I am always learning more as I go...(See my Kendal post, I'm not afraid to learn)

Had I not been so pissed and walked out- I would have asked him--If you can't mix them, then why the heck do you sell a SYNTHETIC BLEND??

While I don't mind opinions, I do not like people telling me what I can or cannot do....

While I haven't made up my mind yet (I may still get Mobil 1 again anyways-there is a rebate and a price drop on the way), that just annoys me to no end...

Thanks for listening to my vent.

This is awesome. Synthetic blend!

The guy at Autozone by my house is way cool. He does basically anything that I want. The store is brand new and clean and he is really helpful.

Does he have a pretty mouth?

XP and I became friends when he was a assist. Manager

at one of the better local AutoZones and I was alsways

coming in with a different car... when I brought by the

Datsun one of the guys there (not XP) tried to argue w/

me that it can NOT be RWD, "it's Japanese!"

As if the Japanese. invented &/or exclusively built FWD!

Never even crossed my mind, yet it was the first thing that came to your mind. . .

I don't like dudes, maybe I used the wrong emoticon.

i wonder where that rumor started... you can safely switch between oils.

I don't know if your against walmart (some people are and i am kind of, but money savings is important right now) They sell a 5qt jugs of mobil 1 for about $23. I think thats what my inlaw says he puts in his f 150 and what he pays. but that was a couple of months ago so things might have changed. I noticed last time i went to the auto store i spent $70 on oil, filter and wiper blades.

Thanks. It makes me feel better just hearing that.....

I think it is still $27 at my local Walmart (it's where I pick up Mobil 1 for the wife's car)

Actually, I just got a Murray's/O'Reilly Ad today, and they have Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic for 3.99 a quart.

I'm hearing rave reviews, I might even give it a try.....

Plus, there is going to be a 10 buck rebate on mobil 1 in April, I hear.....

Does he have a pretty mouth?

And I picked up some PP for 3.99 today....

Now I'm an oil guru.....
