Where do you buy your oil + filters?

TigerMike · 04-27-07, 08:54

Curious where everyone gets their motor oil and filters from?

I generally stuck with places like AutoZone in the past, but I am hearing you can get Mobile 1 much cheaper from WalMart. AZ charged $30+ for their M1 oil and I think the same thing at Wally is $15-$17, or maybe less (haven't checked yet). Plus AZ charges $12+ for a M1 oil filter! Anybody know of local places where you can get the filters cheaper? Not sure if WalMart carries them...

Thanks,

Mike

I usually buy it at the dealer, but I'm going online next time since I can get them cheaper by the case.

I get my Mobil 1 from walmart, $22.xx for a jug and Purolator PureOne($5.xx) from Pepboys.

I generally get my Mobil 1 oil from Walmart but, Walmart in my area doesn't carry Mobil 1 filters so I usually pick them up at either Autozone or Advance Auto parts.

Same here. Walmart for Mobil 1 and AutoZone or PepBoys for Mobil 1 oil filters. I was able to get the oil filter at PepBoys last time for $9.99. They cost $11.99 at AutoZone

I think that is what I'll probably end up doing...going to Wally tonight to pick up the oil and then to Advance or AZ for just the filter. It's a shame WM doesn't carry the M1 filters!

Does anyone know if Costco carries M1 oil? If so, how much? tks

Off topic...but...might want to consider some other oils besides M1. For the price, it can be beat...

i am not an expert but i have seen tests that give a thumbs down to M1 filters. sorry i don't hv the link and not telling you not to buy them. maybe someone else has a link to the tests.

Don't put too much faith in some obscure online or magazine published tests as most of them do not publish their methodology or who is behind the tests so you rarely know whether they are based on science or marketing.

Instead I prefer to have my used engine oil analyzed on a regular basis to see how my oil and filters are working and how my engine is doing. I use Blackstone Labs but there are plenty of places out there to get your used engine oil analyzed.

Personally, I've been going to my dealer for the last couple years (Ford). They have a 15.95 oil and filter change special for repeat customers. I like the price, but I also like how they check over the rest of the car and keep a good record of all maintenance I am doing if I ever need it later down the road.
