I'm hoping that it will be on sale for a good price soon enough. I'm willing to see how it holds up to fuel dilution in my DISI MazdaSpeed 6.

Dang, I've got 30 quarts of German Castrol. It will be awhile before I will need any.

Not if it stays in the $35/5qt jug price point.

I bet it will be out in the EDGE formulation over here by the time you need more. They should have included 0W-30 in the product launch. For the Wow power alone.
Make it green and make it better. That would make us happy.

$7.99? That is Amsoil ASL/series 3000 territory with a PC membership. I dont think I could pull the trigger knowing I could get Amsoil for the same price range

$36 at W.M. near me. They did move the M1 jugs to a premium aisle-header location with a big $26 sign since last week. Wonder if Mobil is throwing some bucks WM way for the placement.

You are assuming Amsoil is better???
I will wait to see my results, UOAs, and VOAs to make my mind up.

From my UOA's, I have nearly no wear metals at 3k miles. I am currently trying 6k+ OCI. baby steps. I am happy with what I am using and feel no need to change what I have been doing. Ya, I guess that means I am assuming amsoil is better.....for me and my appication

Doesn't GC meet more stringent mfg specs than Edge anyway? I wonder how many times GC is better than M1 on an IVA test.

I dont think it matters these other companies can prove these claims or not. Maybe the brains at Exxon/Mobil will just get to work and make their oil better. I am going to buy some anyway, not a lot of course, but a quart here and there will not be as painful as buying a lot of it at once.

Hahaha... They will just ignore it all and let the silence speak for itself. DENY DENY DENY ... Works for the Government why not BIG-OIL?

It's not really that expensive. Real car/truck guys will smack down a few extra dollars for a super premium oil. Heck, look at what people pay for [censored] additives like Prolong et al.
I predict the VOA will look just like Gold GC. No moly and a shot of magnesium. Speaking of GC, I'd grab all I could in case it's discontinued to avoid paying Edge prices for what we already use, GC.

I just bought 6L of M1 5w20 for the Expedition. Yep, you guessed it, I don't really care. I've been using this stuff for 15 years with good results in my Ford products. I'm not about to deviate from that now because of some marketing from their competition.
Maybe they'll send me a hat

For me, it would be $20 more vs CG at $31 for 7 qt, thats a bit pricey. I will buy it on sale

For the same money, I'll take Amsoil every time.

Good oil choice. Might want to bump up to M1 5-30 next time in your 4.6. My Merc 4.6 has 205,000 miles on M1 5-30 & 10-30. I guess I'm old school, just can't get used to 20 wt. oils.
