G-Oil Full Synthetic Motor Oil (5w-30) FAR 5qt thru 11/24/12 (EXTENDED)

Link

This one is for a $26 rebate on one 5qt bottle OR five 1qt bottles.

Time for more free oil.

EDIT: Promo was extended through Thanksgiving (11/24/12)

Yeah, more free oil!

I like the five 1qt bottles because its easier to pour if you have a vehicle that only uses 4.5 qts, but the price of five 1qt bottles is $32.15 compared to the $26 for the 5qt jug. So the 5qt jug is the better deal..

Also from the last rebate in July I have not received my checks. The website shows "InProcess".

This promotion is using a different way to check the rebate status.

They just mailed my June rebates yesterday, so my July ones should be mailed in a few weeks.

I now can say I got all my rebates from G-Oil.

The first rebate I never got and I emailed them several times (they responded each time) and they told me the check would be in the next check run each time. I finally gave up on them, but I did actually receive the check about a year and a half after the original submission.

I've got two but very slow, took over 3 months

thanks im in for 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great! Thanks! works for me

Free is good, but you've got to actually get paid. Fingers crossed, but I don't plan on buying any more until I see the previous one paid out.

After the expected period of 10 weeks, don't wait around and cry... Be proactive like vegas4x4 and contact them.

I turned it at least 5 Goil rebates. I got them all. Only one was past due, but a courteous email to them got me my late rebate.

Of course. I do many many thousand $$$ in rebates per year. I didn't say I wasn't going to get paid, or that it was a bad deal. I chided rapid rewards for not being very rapid (true). I noted that they are significantly BEYOND their posted T&C for payment. And I stated I'd wait until I got paid on this one before extending myself further on a future one. I guess that warrants red *shrug*

Well at least our taxes are being put to good use ... Well free oil is good in my book (well it going to cost me $3 in taxes and postage

I hope it still in stock when I get there.

just a reminder there is a counter on the rebate form, but to play it safe, if you going submit multiple rebate, make sure has a different certificate number

Has anyone out there used the same rebate certificate multiple for multiple rebates?

Ripe off. They don't pay off.

My second rebate hasn't been paid in three months; I did receive the first one in about ten weeks. I'll pass.

Easy to remove the UPC code from bottle or I need to empty the container 1st then cut out the UPC code? Thanks!

VirginiaDC said:   I've done this six times (2 rebates three times) and got all rebates without issue. The UPC is fairly easy to remove without piercing the plastic jug.

Same here. Last one shows as mailed two days ago - woohoo! In for another jug.

Wonder if this is one big Ponzi scheme. They certainly can't sell this oil at $26 per 5 quart jug as no one would buy it considering conventional can be had for half of that. They either have to get the government to force us to buy it or get some sort of tax credits. WalMart stocks it because we buy it, but we only buy it because its free.

I went for it this time (passed on all the previous ones), it seems enough people have actually received their rebates that it is worth a shot. It also seems like this oil is 'good enough' for a typical daily driver using the factory recommended OCI.

I haven't paid for an oil change in a couple of years now

Thanks!

I just mailed my rebate today, my WalMart had about 12 left on the shelf this past Saturday.

This should be fine for an 11 year old camry

If you want to fix what you call the 'gel' problem

Use this product http://www.auto-rx.com/

Follow the directions with auto-rx EXACTLY, even using the cheap WalMart supertech oil and filters for the flush cycles, then put the G-Oil in at the end of the process, that will help your camry tremendously. I had two friends with similar Camry's do this and it helped a lot.

I would check with a Toyota forum, make a plan, and review it with the folks on that forum. The gel/sludge issue is pretty severe and stakes are high. I suspect that it's a bad idea to loosen a large buildup of sludge and let it circulate, it might be appropriate to take off the oil pan or at least stick a borescope in and inspect it. (BTW you can get a USB borescope on eBay for about twenty bucks, search for endoscope. There's a video on Youtube from one, the guy wasn't too satisfied with it because it's too zoomed in but he does have a much more expensive one already.)

My parents lost a Lexus V6 to sludge.

Just got this today and sent it out, will let you know when and if I get the rebate check. Did one of these maybe a year ago, got my checks. Thanks for posting this deal.

Got both my checks from this promo last week. This makes 8 for 8.
