I need help with 2 questions.

Post by Firebuzzard » Tue Jan 31, 2006 2:41 pm

First is...whats the difference between the Mobil 1 synthetic motor oils. There is the $20 5 qt. jug and the $26 extended 5 qt. jug.

Second... does anyone here have your garage floor covered with the snap together garage floor tiles. What brands, and how much $, and do you like them? I was thinking about getting some. Thanks, Troy

Troy,

Could you tell us what weight the Mobil 1 is in each container? Does one say extended life on the motor oil?

If so, I believe the extended life is designed for higher mileage engines. I can't really give you technical details as to the makeup of each type though.

I am about to try the 15K extended wear Mobil One Syntec here shortly, but don't intend going (1) year or the full 15K before the next change.

I think $4.00 difference on a (6) pack Quart purchase........are you referring to this product?

I personally use the "Extended Performance." I don't know if it makes a difference, but maybe it's worth it. Good luck deciding.
