Thanks for the heads-up !!!
I'll drop by and grab some.
That will work out great with my new Canton holding 8-Quarts of Mobil-1 now.
1-5-quart and 3-1-quart bottles.

I'm pretty sure that is what I am running in mine.
So I will let you know !!!
In my case since I am going to be there (Walmart) anyway I will get some as I am out.
I took all I had to Brenspeed my last visit.
Need to "Restock".

I thought this was a great deal so I made a trip to Wal Mart. It is a good price but only $2 less than their every day price so if you miss the sale it's not a big deal. Their oil prices are darn cheap overall though. I remember 2 years ago stocking up on Mobil 1 when it was on sale for $4.99 per quart (normally $8). Now that's the regular price at Wal Mart.

That was a great deal.
Sticking with FoMoCo 5-20 for now. When the cams went in 15k ago, things were very clean. Anxious to see the internals when the B302 is finally installed, how things look. They may suggest a full synthetic for those clearances after that install.

Hey, Guys, I am a Mobil 1 fan as well. But, unless you have a non-stock bottom end, why run 10-40? Seems to me that the 5-20 is what we should run. Just wondering...

I run the 10-40 becuase that what Brenspeed said to run in the B302 engine.

Terry, that makes complete sense. My understanding is that when the car has very tight clearances such as the factory engines do, the oil viscosity must be thin so as not to create too much friction. When building a more race type engine, there are usually a bit looser clearances and hence a thicker oil to allow more "float" inside those connections. When I built my 427 many years ago, the clearances were quite loose (Ford's recommendations) and the engine made a bit of noise at idle. The suggested oil was 20-50.

BTW I would NEVER use 20-50 or even 10-40 in a stock bottom end 4.6.

I can recall many-many guys back in the 60's & 70's running 20-50 oil.
I'll also mention this to you on why I run what BRENSPEED says.
(I figure if the engine went out & I had switched Oil-Weight) :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:
So I run what they run and what that sticker says on my Oil Cap they installed with the New Saleen Spec BRENSPEED built B302 engine.

This is a must read. And after seeing the cam wear on a few 3v motors with Mobil 1, I will stick with Amsoil or RP.

Pennzoil Ultra is a great oil and, based on lab testing, better than "regular" Mobil 1. Unfortunately, I cannot get it in my area so I use Mobil 1 Extended Performance.
For an extra $2 per jug at walmart, you can get Mobil 1 Extended Performance. It is a group iv base stock (true synthetic) vs group iii as per the "regular" Mobil 1 and provides better protection. I still change at regular intervals (don't drink the 15k per change koolaid) but for a couple more $$$, it is a better and true synthetic.

Walmart has had the best pricing so far.
They also run Specials sometimes.
On like the 5-Quart Containers.

I watched the documentary, "the high cost of low prices".. haven't shopped there since. Plus I don't feel like a customer, I feel like I'm in the way at wal-mart here. Ours is 24/7 so your always dodging pallet jacks or lp powered floor scrubbers. No wally world here.
Another reason I don't shop at wal-mart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFY0KU2DNAQ
