Mobil1 is loosing it.!!! PP is butt-kicking and even ST syn is eating into their mkt share. One has to price appropirately when there are superior syn at a lower price. They came up with this EP nonsense pricing it ridicously at $30/5Q, they need a new mkting head.

you get a $13 filter in the deal. That's 5 quarts for $17.
besides PP being a good quality synthetic and working perfectly fine for most applications does not necessarily meet or surpass Mobil 1 in more severe or long term conditions.
Also the EP is a different formula than the regular M1 for only a few cents more.

The rebate is until end of August and the prices come back to where they were, $22/5Q for regular Mobil1 and $29/5Q for Mobil1 EP. Hence M1 EP is $1.5/Q more than M1. IMO these rebates are intended to get back customers who are looking at lower priced syn oils and PP and ST have nothing to loose when M1 is priced above them.
In the same note, PP is $20/5Q and ST $17/5Q. ST syn is a good oil in my opinion for the 7.5K mile OCI. I am presently running ST syn and an UOA will be taken towards the end of 7.5K miles.
I have total confidence in ST syn taking it to 7.5K since my last UOA on regular ST oil at 5K was super, made me a believer in lower priced oils.

M1 10w-30 @ Walmart 5q jug, is "on sale" for $22.
i picked-up some HIGH MILEAGE, not the EXTENDED Mileage....
Hmmm -- methinks I'm off to Advance to get that jug + the Filter for $30....that's a good deal!....
The way I'm burning oil this summer, I'm going to need an extra 5quarts!!
M1 filters aren't sold @ Wally-world, and typically now co$t anywhere from $10-15 at the autoparts stores.

As long as you're not in the break-in period, and usally after 10k miles, just to be on the safe side of a good break-in of the internal parts!
Make sure you use that EP filter with the EP oil.

Now I hope you will not waste the EP by dumping it at 3000 miles
Only due to warranty I have been changing at 7500 using the oem filter. After warranty I will still change the filter at 7500 but the oil at 15000. Once my hoard of oem filters is used, then I will start using Mobil1 filters (unless something else comes around cheaper and as good). Though I will likely switch to Shaeffers 9000 if priced the same or better than Mobil1 when I go 15k mile changes.
