I had been doing the Mobil 1 on all my previous rides, funny thing is that years later I found the owner of my '05 Acura TL and he said he does the oil changes a Jiffy with the regular stuff at 7k and uses regular gas and the car sounds like new 40k later weird uhh...but I knew the TL would be sold as I had my mind set for a Z and I plan to retire (in 5 years) with it and have it be my last car so I'm kind of torn, sure $19 and the fact that I don't have to get on the ground and unclip over 19 push pins and undo bolts , clean up the area in the garage, tools and then do the recycling thing makes it a no brainer but again the "baby" factor kicks in and the peace of mind that I'm letting it drain for over an hour vs minutes (leaving some of the old oil behind) makes me wonder if at the end is worth the $19 ...I have a little over 1k to decide thanks for the replies guys
