At autozone 5qts and filter $29.99 next few weeks good buy.

 

Great deal Paul. That would not include the Mann Fleece filter would it??

 

Note that it's 5W/30.

 

I talked to my local store last week they will give me 0-40. Any filter that will work within price range.

 

That's good to know Paul, let us know if that includes an xfire fleece filter. When Advance has the same sale, they limit you to a MOBIL 1 Filter up to $10.99 and the one for the Xfire is $17.99. No way they will let me pay the difference either because they have to scan each item and the computer reverts to reg. price if the filter is over $10.99.

 

I've been searching at all the local auto parts stores here in Melbourne Florida and can't find any 0-30w synthetic at all, and the Mobil 1 5-30w doesn't have the MB certification on it, but the Mobil 1, 5-40 w does. But while I have read on this forum, and in my manual as I seem to recall, that it is ok to use 5-30w, I have never read that it is ok to use 5-40w anywhere... Is there a reference document somewhere saying that 5-40w is ok to use? Having been changing oil for some 45 years, my gut call is that 5-40w would work just fine here in Florida, but I'd like to see it in writing. Till then, I'm going to continue annd try an find the MB certified 0-30w... Any suggestions from you guys? Best regards -- Bob

 

Hey guys, please disregard my insane post above... As a new srt owner I had written down all the items that I needed to buy in a notebook, and wrote down 0w-30, which is incorrect, versus 0w-40, which is the correct weight.... So, shame on me, because I even had the correct oil in my hands yesterday, Mobil 1 Synthetic, MB certified, 0w-40, and yep, it was on sale, just like you said. Fortunately, I was able to find the correct Mann fleece filters and copper washers, thanks to the info provided on this great forum. Best regards- bob

 

I bought my Mann fleece filter disguised as the Purolator L25277 from Autozone for $12. And of course I am only using the Amsoil 5w-40 which I buy discounted from my next door neighbor.
