I usually use Mobil 1 full syn, but just got curious because O'reilly/Kragen has a 5qt full synthetic and Mobil 1 oil filter for like $17.99. Would anyone here consider using Oreilly brand oil.

 

I wouldn't. You pay for what you get.

 

Ha, well I'll tell you what happens because my mechanic dad thought this was an amazing deal and picked it up for me. I usually use Valvolin 5w-30 full synthetic and a mobil 1 filter (22 bucks +10 bucks).

He told me when I slightly protested that the guys there said mobil 1 supplies the O'Reilly oil...in my case it won't matter too much since my sudden change of job mean I drive my car like once a week maybe. yay for no commute!!

If it blows up i'll let u know lol

 

Ok well I decided to give it a try, since I have to work on my brakes anyways, well the oil smells good and is very clear and somewhat thin, oh well. On a side note mobil 1 is great, last oil change I put 4.7 quarts and drained out almost the same amount, although it was dark like coke. I'll be changing the oreilly oil early just to be safe.

 

Let me know when your motor blows...
