2.0 s/c engine has a mobil oil logo on it, but mobil make non-synthetic oil also? thanks in advance

 

Yes, you have to use Mobile 1. Don't cheap out.

 

why would you NOT want to use synthetic?

 

i just wasnt sure if it was a nessesity, i have always used it without even thinking about it. but my friend just bought one and didint know for sure. i told him just to use mobil one. I can understand where he was coming from, he's in high school. 60.00 in oil change, not cheap.

 

he can do it himself for 30.

 

It has a mobil 1 logo on the top and you need to use a 5w30 synthetic.

 

true. thanks for the help.

 

Yes mobile one only. Where are you getting your oil at, a 6 pack of mobile one cost 37.99 around here and we need 7 plus a filter. $60 bucks for an oil change is not bad, but I would rather do it myself then someone else touch my car.

 

Where can I find 7 quarts of mobile one, and a filter for 30?

 

i work at a dealership. my buddy does mine. he puts on all my parts for free. and like i said i have always used mobile 1. just cause thats what he put in there. I just told my friend i would find out if there were any other options.

 

i do mine for 30, but i have 2.2 so sorry, it would be about 35 or 40 for the 2.0. and i get it from wallmart.

 

I've found it the cheapest at Sam's Club. Mobile 1 - 6 quarts - For $29.62 Bringin it to about 42 to change the oil on my ss sc

 

oh yea I was gonna say at my price through my car lot it is $45 filter and oil that is doin it myself of course

 

Occasionally I miss not having a 2.0 because I would like to use regular oil in it. I'm sure it would work perfectly (although it would probably void the warranty beause regular oil doesn't meet the special spec they specify for that engine). Honestly, I'm convinced the "Mobil 1 only" is more of a marketing tool than a true need for special oil. Same with Corvettes and other cars which come from the factory with synthetic - Mobil probably pays GM to print their name on the oil caps, but the resulting free advertising for Mobil is priceless. You can bet Castrol, Pennzoil, Havoline, etc wish they had thought of it first.

 

nice... i don't have a sam's club over here by me

i don't get why people would prefer to use regular over synthetic... any "performance" type of car should really have synthetic in it.

 

LOL Because its funny thinking of people getting upset at the idea of me pouring regular oil into a SS/SC. Oh, well, I've said it before - I'm kind of weird.

 

Treat your car right and use Synthetic. That's like feeding your baby dirt instead of real food.

 

if a 60 dollar oilchange is to hard to handle. why are you driving an ss/sc

 

it's not weird, it's stupid... and i know i'm not upset about it, if you want to ruin your car, go for it! why not just run regular 87 gas as well?

 

At the local parts store, when I bought a 6-pack and filter the price seemed odd at the time. Later, I realized the bar code for the 6-pack was set up in their computer as 1 quart. I payed for 1 quart of Mobile 1 and a filter, and got 6 quarts. It was like $14.

 

royle purple ftw



$75 case of 12 and car takes 7 ftl

 

once you use Synthetic you have to stay with it you cant go back to regular. Not good for the car at all!

 

I always use Mobil 1 synthetic in my 2.4SS!

 

Same here...free labor is great!

 

that's an old wives tale, and it's not true at all.
