Question

For years I have been using synthetic oil in my cars. When I went to service station to have the oil changed, they brought out 5 cantainers of Mobil 1 and I could see that I was getting what I was paying for. Now they come from the back room with a large pitcher of oil. They say they get the oil in bulk now. How can I be sure I am getting synthetic and not the cheaper stuff?

Hello, very good observation. I am by no means going to rule out that the shop has synthetic in bulk but.. on my end, this would be rare and i have not seen it yet. So far I have not found a shop that has bulk Mobile 1 due to cost involved. This oil is still not a #1 seller and maybe one in 25 customers get it. Unless the shop does one heck of an oil change business, I am leary about bulk Mobile one but sure it exists and other shops may be ugoing that way so please do not take my answer as it does not exist. I am unsure but i do feel this is a concern of yours and now with the info I provided, you can politely come up with some kind of question to ask shop. maybe start with " do you have mabile one in bulk now? see how they respond. tell them everywher else for most part uses the bottles. maybe they will show you the tank. it should be labled. I really do not feel they will be offened but who knows. If you were my customerr, i would asy great observation and yes, we have in bulk now, may I show you the tanks?
