For those running synthetic oil. Great deal!!!

[Speedy1]

Hey Guy's and Gal's

Just thought I'd pass a great deal along. I went to Advance Auto Parts today to get a filter and oil for the F150 and the Cobra and coudn't believe what I saw. They have a buy one get one free sale on quarts of the new Pennzoil Platinum synthetic, and Quakerstate synthetic with no limit on purchase. Needless to say I grabbed five cases, and left with a smile on my face:-D This deal makes a quart of fully synthetic cost the same as conventional, so if anyone has an Advanced Auto Parts by them go take advantage of a great deal.

I would never put penzoil or quaker state in my car ...

 

[harry gilbert]

Yeah, those long-chain molecules will get tangled up around the valve guides.

If they're giving away motor oil, you should reconsider whether its wise to put it in your motor.

 

[Silver2003Cobra]

Pennzoil and Quaker State are both Group III hydrocracked dynosaur oil.. not a true synthetic, but your payin for a true synthetic..

get mobil1, royal purple or amsoil if you want a true synthetic

 

[ford_racer]

Yeah, don't put Penzoil in there. Royal Purple is the best, but it's expensive. Valvoline is good, so is Mobil1.

 

[Wishing4Cobra]

Yup, if they are giving it away free i would definitely think twice. Mobile 1 is what i use.

 

[nastynivek]

Amsoil

 

[SVTcobraGirl]

yup i would stay away from those brands also.. go with amsoil or mobile 1

 

[NFCstang]

Shouldn't you be looking at your thread in Smack down rather then oil?

 

[wheelhopper]

I used Pennzoil Platinum in my 03 about 2K miles ago. Even made quite a few runs with it. I have had no problems. I'm getting a couple cases.

 

[SnkBtn99]

Sounds like a good deal .... If it floats your boat .... I will stick with RP !!

Actually, mobil1 is now a gen 3 also. Its no longer a true synthetic. I dont know if you remember the whole Castrol Syntec thing or not, but due to that they decided to do what Castrol was doing. It costs them less to make it and they can price it the same.

Pennzoil platinum is good oil. I wouldnt run standard pennsoil and I wouldnt touch anything Quaker state, but the pennzoil platinum is good.

 

[GreatPyr]

I run Mobil 1 in the Cobra, but I've run regular Pennzoil in all my other cars. No oil-related failures in over 30 years. :shrug:

 

[HISSMAN]

WTF? So M1 is no longer a true full synthetic? Looks like I may have to order some RP or something.

[mineralgrey01gt]

i never knew that about mobil1. Damn gonna go back and get some RP now

 

[simshahh]

Hahaha I JUST changed my oil with Mobile1. I feel like a :loser:

I've yet to see some conclusive evidence that suggests this to be true.

I have been searching since I made the post, and I can't find anything on it either.

Seems to have all been started by one guy who ran some through a GC.
