Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil 5W-30, 5 Quart

I used this stuff to do an oil change on my missus Honda Civic. I changed out the oil filter at the same time. When I first test drove the car after the change, I felt that the oil was somehow too thin/fluid. The engine definitely felt like it was running with a very light oil - I can't describe it any other way. On heating up though, the oil seemed to come into its own, and you could just tell by the sound of the engine that the oil increased in viscosity. I believe that this is exactly what this synthetic engine oil actually does when heated. I test drove the car for several days afterwards too, and by about day 5, I notice that the engine runs significantly smoother. Even when cold now, the oil seems to have changed from being what I would describe as "too thin" or not viscous enough, to being just the right viscosity when cold or hot. Call me crazy, but I kid you not. This oil is the real deal.

I brought my old oil with me when I purchased 5 qts of Mobil 1 and was told that I needed to take the old oil to the back of the store where the barrel was. I wasn't really sure what the store clerk meant, but figured I'd try to find the barrel. Long story short, I didn't find the barrel, so the cleark said he would show me. At that point, I suggested that he just do it for me (since I AM THE CUSTOMER). But he said he wasn't going to do it and that I had to. With that I just placed the jug on the floor and walked out. Not sure if this is Advance Auto's standard policy, but it sucks if it is. You have customers that have no idea where they're going, wandering through the warehouse portion of the store. One could trip over something and sustain serious injury by no fault of their own. Can you say LAWSUIT! I guess this is the first time that I've purchased oil from Advance Auto, as the guy said this has always been the way they do things. So my first time, is my LAST time. I'll go back to Auto Zone, where the store clerks tell you to just drop the jugs at the counter and they will take it from there. They even ask you if you want your containers back. You need to take a lesson from your competitors big time on this one.
