Default Anyone have experience with Mobil 1 EP?

Thinking of buying Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5-30w. I have been taking my car to the dealership and they have been using Toyota Conventional Oil. I was looking am Amsoil and Royal Purple but their price are pretty high, Walmart has a deal for Mobil 1 for $12 bucks for a 5qt after rebates.

Any experience with Mobil 1 Extended Performance, High Mileage Full, or Fuel Economy Full?

I've been using it for years in all my Toyotas and the IS250, the EP is usually a little higher but if you change it every 5K I would just get the the regular Mobil 1 5W30.

I would think you'll be fine for many years, I don't think it expires and the jugs are safety sealed....

"ExxonMobil recommends a five-year maximum shelf life for engine oils, including Mobil 1™ synthetic motor oil." See https://mobiloil.com/en/faq/ask-our-...mobil-1-quarts

I've used Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w-30 for 9 years in a 2004 Toyota Sienna and over 7 years in my 2008 IS350 changing the oil once a year using factory oil filters. No problems.
