I dont think I should put this into the For Sale section cuz Im not selling anything ...

and this *thread* applies to all Automobile owners so I think its ok to put it in General Automotive section ...

First off, if you're a Synthetic hater, skip this thread and move on.

For those who *dunno* about this deal, yep, here you go.

Autozone is doing a deal of 5 Quarts of Castrol Syntec and a Mobil1 Filter of your choice for 25.99 + tax !!!

I ran my ass off to 2 Autozone today,

First one thats closer to my home, all of the 5w30 were out already, they have only 3 quarts of 5w40, and I dont use 5w20. In the other words, They have the correct Size filter, M1-M108. but no oil. So I asked them when will they have it. The guy said he can *order* the oil and it will come the next business day, but Its already Friday night so even if I order it, I probably gotta wait till Tuesday. I asked them to check for other's store's stock and found one with couple quarts of 5w40 left ...

So I went to another Autozone ... damn I was afraid Im gonna get jumped ! that neighborhood is pretty bad .... anyway I rush my ass in and they have 5w40 left but M108 filter. So I got the M110 Filter instead and 5 quarts of 5w40 (cuz the rest of the 5w40 bottle is leaking !)


Usually they sell Castrol for about 6 something per quart. and the filter alone cost about 9-11 bux. This is a pretty good deal right ? ...

BUT THERE IS MORE !

IF you have their Autozone Rewards card, every 20 dollar of purchase will count as 1 credit, if you have 5 credits you WILL GET 20 DOLLARS STORE CREDIT TO SPEND!

The catch is, you HAVE to spend at LEAST 20 dollars everytime to get 1 credit. Dont even try to do the *oh I buy 5 bux this time and 15 the other*, nope, it doesnt work like that. AND the credit will *expire* in 6 months.

For me, Im gonna go find more oil early tomorrow, with Tax is about 28 bux. buy 4 of them I will get another 20 to spend for free .... (I got my 20 bux credit already ... Im gonna spend it tomorrow of course :lol: :lol:)

Remember, if the shop is *out* of oil, you can tell them to *special order* it for you and it will come in less than 1-2 business day.

I usually dont buy Castrol but for the price ... you just cant beat it :) They have 0w30(I should've got it, ahh tomorrow), 5w20, 5w30,5w40, 5w50 ... and so on.

Is this a great deal ? you tell me.

Nah, I dont shop at Autozone much, cuz their price + tax is usually higher or about the same as I go order it online. So why bother going there yourself ? :)

they change their *deal* every 2-4 weeks and they post them on their online site.

This one is really cool tho. I think I should let everyone know :)

I know...........I'm just given ya some crap.
I have one within 5 minutes walking distance from my house, and the guys that work at mine are cool, knowledgeable, and always really helpful to everybody........so..............who's the whore now????? :sadwavey:

Be a good deal if Syntec was a synthetic........

Its more like a group III thing ...

but meh ... if I want group II stuff I could've gone to the other deal, which is Quaker state oil with STP filter for what 11.99 :O

Quaker State Advance Q has a deal of 10 dollar rebate if you buy 5. they're selling it at 5.99 per quart. for me is about 6.50 (tax included) x 5 = 32.50 - 10 dollar rebate 22.50. Its not a bad deal IMO. but Im lazy to send rebate checks :)

Get the 0W-30! That's German Castrol.. a true synthetic.. and probably the best one there is. If you look at the Bobistheoilguy forums (imported oil section), they're crazy about it.

Grp III gets such bad rap, it's actually damn good oil

I went to another 2 Autozone today

I got myself more 5w40 this time, 10 bottles.

And then I use the rewards to pay for the rest of the 5w30, paid only like 8 bux

Not bad ...

Yeah the 0w30 bottle saids European Formula, ahh Im gonna get some 0w30 tomorrow :)

2 M110 and 1 M108 filters

^ lol there won't be any oil left in the city once you're done..

i gotta check this out, just ran out of oil after changing it yesterday..

^ Haha.. looks like someone's going synthetic :D:

i'm on the fence... if not synthetic i might bump it up to at least 5w30 for the summer...

I keep checking it everyday or so, cuz deals like this is hard to pass on.

u get some decent oil(not really true Synthetic tho) + a filter thats usually selling for 10 dollars or more, I think is pretty good deal.

IF u already have filter and dont mind to send rebates in, Quaker State Advance Q deal might be better for you, and its a *true* Synthetic.

Just so u guys know including the *Free credit* I use, I have probably 40 bottles of these *Syntec* and 8 Filters already :lol:

Hmmm you New York guys....so basically your paying $25 for an oil change........

well here in Texas I can get an auto shop to do a Royal Purple Oil change with filter for $28 ((Includes $10 online coupon and tax)) ...........good for you though =P

Or you could go to one of the shops around here like the quick lube and get a castrol syntec change for $15 ((with 5 dollar internet coupon))......doesn't come with filter though........

but yes anyways its all about the coupons

yeah i'll pay a shop $25 to either not do the job or f' up my car. good one. not to mention doing it myself takes less time and is less of a hassle..

Ok... so I was reading what you guys said and I have a question..

I was told by two service managers at two different mazda service centers that I was NEVER to use synthetic oil on renesis rotary engines. They say it will damage your engine in a long term. Was it all BS? I even got looked at weird by one of the managers like I didn't know shit about these engines when I asked if I could put synthetic oil instead.

go read the synthetic oil thread in the tech section, and form your own conclusion.

In the spirit of this thread.. I just bought 6 gallons of Castrol GTX 5W30 for under 8 bucks each at Advanced Auto Parts in Bayonne NJ.. Not sure if it's only this store but people might want to check it out ;)

meh, they have been selling Castrol GTX for like 8 bux for quite some time. Castrol(BP)'s price has been pretty aggressive pricing lately.

IF u want to see *Cheap* go BJs and buy Shell's Full Synthetic Oil for about 15 bux after *online* rebates. b4 Rebate is like 19.99 I think. 6 Quarts.

They're Group IV oil I think.

I had 2 cases b4 (12 quarts) and used them all. Not bad IMO.

Right now they have Castrol Syntec with a K&N oil filter for $27.99.
