That's even better than the five quart jug at Wally world for 26.

I've been using Mobil 1 for so long, and just the regular/original blend, that I hadn't even noticed that they have gone to the "Baskin-Robbins" style of marketing.

I can see where confusion would occur with 101 flavors.

My head is starting to spin after google turns all this up at walmart. Think I'll just mix them all together just so I am covered.
Synthetic oils are overated and pointless. All they are is a bunch of additives that weight down your oil that have different names attached to the additives from those different names people to make money off you from. Think old school. Use 15w-40 on everything.

On what do you base this theory? My 2011 2.4 was owned for 4 years by a man who insisted 15W40 Dino oil was best, went I bought the HHR , I inspected the camshafts and timing chain the chain was stretched and the engine required a full flush and decarbonizing.
I now run the recommended 5W30 Castrol full synthetic Dexo’s II

15w-40 Wow !! Yep I use that in my air cooled Mowers. But never in my Chevy HHR Panel. Only 5w-30 M-1 E.P.

The only thing I put 15w40 in, is my diesel Kubota tractor. All the rest of my vehicles and machines get the correct weight and type oil that is recommended by the manufacturer.
Think old school ? No. Sounds more like some kind of conspiracy theory believer.

FWIW. Bradley Waltrip rehashing several threads about oil, that are 7-10 year old threads. Just a waste of forum time.
