Lol. They called me once and asked did i purchased an iphone on amazon. Knew it was a scam so i replied yes i did, they just hung up on me.

That Amazon price does seem to be a bit lower than the historical average. But it also appears to have been at the current price for the last year or so.

I'm just saying you don't need Prime to get free shipping on most everything on Amazon. And the stuff that you do need to pay shipping for, Prime members also have to pay shipping.

Glad you said most....... I checked my Amazon invoices for 2024 and found two orders over $25 I paid shipping on.

But yeah, all messing around aside - your point stands.

Those orders are 3rd party sellers using Amazon as a marketplace like eBay. The item never touches Amazon's hands, and they usually charge you for the shipping, prime or not.

Anything that uses Amazon's infrastructure gets free shipping.

I think this is the same for $72. Sorry if they are different and I didn't look close enough.

Oh yea it’s the same, other than the free Del to your door.

That's what I do with the scammers. I occasionally get those calls about "did you just purchase 2 iphones for $1,800? They are on your account. Let me have the details so I can resolve the order." I just tell them I bought iphones for both my wife and me. Just like you said, they immediately hang up.

I went to Walmart for some Penzoil Ultra Platinum in 5W-30.

 

[Mr Miami]

If you have an Advance Auto Parts near you, they normally offer their "Oil Change Special" thing (I've used it for a couple of years) that is somewhere close to the price you are paying at Walmart (the Walmarts near me are just a pain to get to with traffic and parking, and I have 2 Advance Auto Parts stores a mile or so in each direction from my house).

Anyway, they have the normal offer where you buy the 5 qt. oil jug and get any filter you want for no additional charge. I get the oil (Pennzoil Platinum) and the factory Mopar MO-349 oil filter for about $38. Advance charges $12 for the filter separately. The other oils (Mobil 1, Valvoline, etc.) range from about $36 to $40. While the JTR takes 5 quarts, my '16 JKUW takes 6 quarts. So I do order the 2-pack of 1 quarts containers periodically ($16) from Amazon since Advance charges $12 for each 1 quart container.

I guess in the end it all works out pretty much the same.

Home Depot in my area has been selling Pennzoil for a few years now. They currently have a three pack of Platinum 0W-20 for $67.95.

 

[Rockabillyroy]

looked at the invoices from last time I changed my oil.
5qt ultra platinum $22.59 + mopar filter $8.09.

Pennzoil UP now has a lifetime transferable warranty. The warranty terms are somewhat onerous, but this motor oil may be suitable for the right kind of owner.

I won't switch, but I think that some (other) Mobil 1 EP customers will.

Key Findings

• Off-road use is excluded

• Because the new artwork for the "lifetime" label is a pre-release mock-up (before new inventory is available), it does not display the API Certification Mark “Starburst” on the front label
  • This does not necessarily indicate that this motor oil will lack API certification
  • PQIA (Petroleum Quality Institute of America) provides advice on motor oil labeling
  • Also see feedback from Hootbro in post #31 and post #33 in this thread
• The new artwork displays the API Service Symbol “Donut” on the back label
  • This indicates that this motor oil meets API SP with Resource Conserving requirements, and is licensed to bear this symbol
• The new artwork now lists a mileage rating, matching that of Mobil 1 EP
  • For all other warranties, Gladiator motor oil limits = 10K mi / 1Y for normal driving and 4K mi / 1Y for severe duty
• Pennzoil UP specs show that this motor oil complies with Chrysler material standard MS-6395 (unchanged)
• Pennzoil UP specs show that this motor oil does not comply with GM dexos 1 Gen 3 (unchanged)
  • Many other brands of motor oil that meet MS-6395 also meet GM dexos 1 Gen 3 (see table in section 1.5 of my post on Links to Prices)
  • This is irrelevant to Jeep manufacturer specifications, but is relevant to seal conditioning; a higher concentration of seal conditioning additives, in a high mileage motor oil, may cause the oil not to meet dexos 1
  • This finding is consistent with high-mileage motor oil brands
• Pennzoil is owned by Shell

This is not a recommendation to start using a high-mileage motor oil when a vehicle is new. I am just reporting my findings on Pennzoil UP.

  • This indicates that this motor oil meets API SP with Resource Conserving requirements, and is licensed to bear this symbol

This is not a recommendation to start using a high-mileage motor oil from the start. I am just reporting the facts on Pennzoil UP.

In my shop now, so will have to look further later, but it seems to me that FCA says to only use oil bearing those marks....... regardless of specs. Is that not the case?
In other words, if it doesn't display the marks, FCA won't like it.

No way I, personally, will use an oil for a high mileage engine in a modern engine that isn't really high miles.
I ignore warranties - you know the drill - so few people ever follow up on a claim. It's like trip insurance. Make them fill out 10 pages of forms, get 4 signatures, go to another doctor, then submit. Who is going to do all of that? It's a marketing thing in my opinion.
Transferrable is the new buzzword from rain gutters to shingles to now oil? First thing I'm going to do if I ever buy used is change the oil. I bet they know that.

Really interesting, though - got me curious - I have to look up exactly what that does and does not meet, and why the change in API marks.

Heck, I don't even run high mileage oil in my 360 and it's decades old with 100,000 miles on it, and the PO abused the crap out of it.

You got me really curious now - gee, thanks a lot!

Happy to send you on one of your next missions....

This clearly shows us that a warranty is more than just an indicator of the maker's confidence in a product and willingness to incur risk (future warranty claims).

As the biggest thing since Mobil 1 EP started extending oil change intervals, this lifetime & transferable warranty is very good marketing. After all, we're writing about it for them for free on this forum.

With that said, I will offer that the warranties for four other brands (AMSOIL, Mobil 1 EP, ROYAL PURPLE, and Valvoline), listed in the table in section 1.5 of my post on Links to Prices, also have de facto lifetime warranty coverage. How can I say this? Like the Pennzoil warranty, the warranty for each of these brands covers damage to other parts. Also, there is nothing in these warranties that says "we will bail on you after X years or when your odometer reaches Y miles".

If I exclusively use any of these brands and my engine fails for no reason other than the oil wasn't good enough to keep it running (no vehicle abuse or neglect), then I can expect the maker of that brand, regardless of the age of the vehicle, to have me covered. To state the obvious, continuous/exclusive usage of a single product, keeping receipts, and keeping service records are the keys to getting a warranty claim approved.

Pennzoil is just the first to say "lifetime". "Transferable" is a bonus, but, as you said, the transferable aspect of the warranty also benefits them.
