Mobil 1 / Wal-Mart rant. 
So time for an oil change on the SS. I always use mobli 1, and Wal-Mart always had the 5qt containers for a good price. I was in a hurry and picked one up. Time to change the oil. Drained the oil used the Nappa gold filter, poured in the Mobil 1 & noticed the 5qt container is no longer 5qts. Now only 4 qts for the same price.
now the car is short 1 1/2 qts of oil. I knew I needed another 1/2 qt and would just drive straight to the store & get a qt, but now I'm down 1.5 qts.Not my only car, but what a sneaky way to raise the price. Just raise the F!@#ing price, don't put in a smaller amount and think no one will notice.
Switching oils now. Just need to think about what I want to use.
No longer a Mobil 1 fan.

Changing oil next oil change. Just not sure what yet, but penzoil platnum is the leader sor far. I also heard about the change in the addatives to the mobil 1. That's why they have the Mobil 1 15K mile oil now. It's the old formula.
