That's a valid question, and no disrespect taken, but I also have to think of the fact that the regular Mobil 1 5w30 is a very good oil
(and is the factory fill for my 2018). M1 5w30 is $25 for 5 quarts, and I often see it for $22.88. So if the new oil costs me double that amount, am I doubling the life of my engine to go along with that higher price? Probably not. So even though the car did cost a lot of money, I still have to be practical and spend my money wisely.
Where are you seeing those prices? Not to be negative and disrespectful, but I haven't seen Mobil-1 oil that cheap in years and years up here. If you are purchasing it State side, maybe, but you are leaving out and not including the exchange rate and possible duty charges as well. Correct me, please, if I am mistaken.
