does anyone in the bay area (san jose) know where i can find a better deal for Mobil 1 5w-30? ive been to several places and the cheapest price i can find is $5.89/qt. ive read that some people have gotten 5 quarts for $20. anyone know if this is true?

 

BJ's,Sams Club, and Costco's wholesalers sell cases cheap. not $20 I think I paid $30 for a case.

 

i paid 21 dollars for 10w30 @ Walmart for the 5qrt jugs.

 

Buy it in the 5-quart jugs at Walmart. That's the only time I shop the walmart. Costco used to be cheaper but they jacked up their prices.

 

I agree the only time I shop at Walmart is to get my
Mobil 1 10W30 because they are the cheapest from
what I have seen.

 

how do yoy measure the oil going in to the car if you use a 5qt jug? Do you just pour the whole 5qts in the car? i try to put 4.8qt when i chang the oil.

 

The 06 WRX takes 5.2

 

Walmart or Costco

 

4 cups=1 quart
1 cup = .25 quarts

take out just under 1 cup and you will be right at 4.8 quarts.
If you want to get real accurate then go with 3/4 cup (.1875 quarts)

 

No different than using 5 1-qt bottles. Fill it until the bottle is getting low, run the engine for a few seconds to fill the oil filter, wait for the oil to drain back down and then top it up to the right level on the dipstick.

I usually check the level again (and for leaks) a couple of days later.

 

 

I pay 27 bucks plus tax for 6 quarts of 5w30 at Costco. Recently everyone has had to raise their prices on oil, a new tax was introduced or an existing tax was increased (one or the other I don't remember), at least in CA...

 

costco is the cheapest for the individual quart bottles, but nothing beats the 5 qt jugs at walmart in price/quart

 

Is that what the manual says?
