Well... Finally made myself go to Wally World to pick up some full synthetic oil. What to pick?? Well, there was a literal ton of Mobil 1 annual protection= shelf totally full and an end cap completely full too. Zero Castrol Magnatec 5w30= not happy about that. Pennzoil Platinum= none to be found either. Quaker State Ultimate Durability 5w30= ZERO. Ok well there is Mobil 1 5w30 but not a lot of it so I will save the last remaining 5 qt container for a real diehard Mobil 1 fan because I know there are many of them out there. The woods are full of them Mobil 1 fans. Mobil 1 extended performance 5w30 was there but again 3 five qt containers left. Just can't do it. For already stated reason. Really only option left was Valvoline Maxlife full synthetic 5w30. Which I was plenty pleased with because I have thought to try this out for some time. So that's what I picked up. Though I really did come close to getting the Quaker State Enhanced Durability 5w30 Dexos approved oil for $16.97.
So in summary it appears at my local Walmart that the vaunted Mobil 1 annual protection is a very effective dust bunny collector. Regular Mobil 1 and Mobil 1 extended performance are selling really well. The Pennzoil Platinum oils were obviously selling really well too. Castrol Magnatec 5w30 Dexos approved 5w30 now full synthetic @ $17.88 is likely going to be hard to keep on the shelves. I am looking forward to trying out the Valvoline Maxlife full synthetic in my car with 190k miles. In my book a real high mileage car or truck starts at 200k miles. I am close enough now to at least try it. Ohh and I hope you guys have a good Father's day today. The biggest accomplishment in life is not having a great job, huge House, or a super super car in the driveway. The greatest accomplishment is to be a father who is present, who tries to do the best that he can for his children, and bless the world with a child or children that have been raised well. I will never have the ability to do this. But I greatly respect and appreciate all the guys in this world who take their responsibility of bringing a child in this world very seriously.
