500 miles and the oil is still golden. Must not be like EP Molly grease. Or a less amount.

The person at the parts counter asked if I bought the vehicle there (when I went in to buy a quart of the GF-5). I thought maybe they would give me a small discount but, no, it was over $9 with the sales tax! But for some reason they like to track sales to owners and recorded my purchase in their database associated with my name. What's up with that?
My dealer did not stock the new GF-5 Mazda oil so I found in for $8/qt when buying a case including tax and shipping from:

We can't do free shipping but if you want less than a case we've got the oil for $6.46 a qt

Sorry, with shipping more than 14$/quart, that is a non-starter. I did not check shipping costs on your case price but if it's more than $14 dollars...
It is only $14 a qt if you only buy one quart and that is just silly, nobody buys just one and has it shipped. That makes no sense because there are minimum delivery charges from all delivery companies.
Fair enough but I entered 5 quarts and ground shipping still brought the price to $48.82. That's more than the $8.75/quart (plus tax) that my local dealer charges.
You are probably right, but I didn't have a choice this time.BGC - not a good idea to mix oil types or mfgs as some of the additives may conflict with each other. As you observed they are different...
...The thing that surprised me about the Mazda Moly oil is that it looks golden amber (like honey) on the dipstick. All other moly oil I've seen is black. Moly grease is black as well. So how does Mazda get rid of the black color in their moly oil? Anyone know?
