I found a goldmine of Mobil1 0W-20. What to do?

A local store has about 12 quarts (if not more) of Mobil1 0W-20 oil just sitting on the shelf.

Do you suggest that I:

A) Raid the store and buy it up at $5 a quart?
B) Wait for it to go on sale/clearance, but risk someone else taking it.



How good would the oil be to use in a K24 engine? (flame me now, it's for a 4 banger accord)


This same store has boxes of 303 Aerospace protectant for dirt cheap too.

An Autozone near Portland OR was selling out of it at $1/qt. about 2 months ago. FYI. Now that's cheap! (And, yes, it was the synthetic 0W-20).

Why is this a gold mine? You can buy M1 anywhere, and $5 a quart is about the most you'll see it sold for.

Sell it on Bobistheoilguy.

Dr. Haas wants to buy some for a ZOIL test ($750 oil analysis) to test the difference between that stuff and the new M1 5w-20. Some of us are suspecting that the new 5w-20 is just 0w-20 relabeled, but we need to have it tested to find out.

If you can get any of that stuff at all, seize it before some oil junkie on Bobistheoilguy does.
