Costco was having a special on Mobil One this month. Since i was already doing a scheduled oil change, I went there to get a good deal on it. Right next to the Mobil One was the "Costco Synthetic Oil". Does anyone know which company that oil originates from? Based on the price, I am guessing that it is not coming from Mobil Oil.
Also, I came across this statement on the Toyota Nation forum Matrix/Vibe general maintenance thread:
"Oil filters are an important part of the overall maintenance of your car. All filters are not created equal and filtering is not a job for the cheap. There are several acceptable oil filters available for the 2003-2008 Corolla, Matrix, and Pontiac Vibe. I will describe most of them below and cite whatever references I can. I will also add that I highly recommend using V-6 Filters on both the 1ZZFE and 2ZZGE engines, for their increased capacity."
Has anybody heard of this or is anybody running a V-6 oil filter? Is there a benefit for doing this? Just curious.
