Default If anyone cares a damn, Pennzoil Platinum $1.99 after rebate at PepBoyz. 4 Puralator filters $.04c

PepBoyz has PP for $4.49 at register, minus $15 rebate nets $1.99. No Euro 5w-40, but the 5w-30 and 10w-30 have Euro ACEA A5, the thinner version of A3/VW502. It also meets the new Acura HT-06 Turbo spec. I'm sure wear control is fine under +225f, good for most stock-ish 1.8t. They also carry the 15w-50, which is very suitable in warm temps, esp for modded cars. It's a very good product. I grabbed bunch because I also have some Pennzoil rebates for $10 which I can piggy-back, $2/6q final price. I bought out 2 stores of VW and Honda filters, 4 are allowed per rebate at $.01c each. A friggin' steal. PN L30257, 40316 or 25401 are all bigger. Be shure to get the rebate forum at the register or download one and don't snooze on sending it in. Deal expires July 21.<ul><li><a href="http://forms.young-america.com/71028_PBA-070706.pdf">http://forms.young-america.com/71028_PBA-070706.pdf</a</li></ul>

Default BTW, thread-jack: What do you know about Car-Quest branded oils? Good/bad/so-so??

I have used them for non critical things in the past and for top-up, but do you know any specifics?

I am curious where they get it (or who they buy it from: IE, is it just mobil/valvoline etc etc) and if it's a decent oil.

I use their oil filters and air filters (wix/purolator as far as I have ever known) often as the "mom &amp; pop Car Quest is local to me and delivers twice a day to my shop at no extra cost.

Thoughts insight on this? Thanks so much!

Default House brands like NAPA are Valvoline(Ashland).WalMart & Advance are Warren Petrolium Products

Probally one or the other. Warren Products seem to have "WPP" on the bottom. As for as premium vs generic products...say a blender has a few products, a premium and a staple and maybe a generic too, like Conoco's Motorcraft/Trop Artic/76. When a base oil shipment comes in, they test it and if it's top-spec they blend it into the premium product, not so good- into the basic grade...and so on.

Thanks. I appreciate the info, makes sense. I'll stick to using it only for top-up and like stuff.

Default If you have a Menards in your area, they have Quaker State Full Syn, 5 quarts for ~$2 after rebate..

I could only find 5w30 and 10w30. I won't run it in the Audi, but I bought some for the wifes Sienna.
