EDIT: The deal was originally scheduled to expire 6/30 but has been extended through Aug 31st.

Follow the steps below and you can get 6 qts of PENNZOIL PLATINUM (their full-synth) oil and make a couple of bucks after rebate at Advance Auto Parts.

(1)Buy 6 Qts of any weight Pennzoil Platinum oil at Advance Auto. Most likely the cost will be $27.48 plus tax etc.
(2)Send for a $15 MIR from Advance Auto (this is NOT a Mfr Rebate). Doesn't need UPC and only requires a copy of the receipt.
(3)Here is the kicker. There is also a Manufacturer's rebate from Pennzoil for $15 (its a $15 Mastercard so as good as cash; credit for this rebate to PhDeez). This rebate REQUIRES original UPC (or bottle rings) AND ORIGINAL RECEIPT. A link to this form is posted below but I would recommend getting your hands on an original Pennzoil form. You might find this at Advance itself but you will DEFINITELY find it at Pepboys since they have advertised the Pennzoil $15 rebate in their flyer this week. I got my Pennzoil rebate forms at Pepboys. BTW, the fact that Pepboys and recently Autozone has advertised the $15 mastercard MFR rebate should also help ease any concerns about the validity of that rebate.

So yes, there is a minimal amount of footwork involved but you get paid back not just the price for the synth oil but some more to take care of the tax etc.

And to pre-empt the threadcrappers, let me be the first to post here that Pennzoil uses high-quality Group III basestocks in their Synthetic Oil and some consider this to be not as good as a pure Group IV oil like Mobil 1 etc.

deepakaaa: Not for WEST COAST folks. No Advance Auto Parts here.
Kahoots: OOS for online orders
jamjma: Not for folks on longisland in NY either.

PhDeez: Here's a better Pep-boys form, OP's ends on **6/30/05** this form from Pepboys ends **8/31/05** THIS DEAL IS VALID PAST 6/30!!!!! Advance Autoparts form valid through 10/1/05. On the back of the MIR, there are not any statements about not being valid @ Advance.

Link to Advance auto parts rebate form if you didn't pick it up in store. -diamente

"Base III" is chemically-altered dinosaur oil that courts have declared can be labeled "synthetic".

Courts + oil companies = getting screwed with no lubrication.

question on oil change.

I'm approaching 3000 miles for my next oil change but I need drive from LA to Philadelphia in a month. Should I just buy oil and pour it in for the mean time and wait to get the oil change right before I go so save me an extra oil change?

Buy oil and pour it in? Only if it's low. Waiting another month is fine, be sure to change it before you go. 3000 mile oil change is a way for oil co. and lube co. to make more money.

I just checked the forums at Bob is the Oil Guy and most are saying positive comments about the Pennzoil Platinum. Some even saying it may be a "special" product but not enough tests yet. One nice thing about synthetics is you can add 1 or 2 quarts per oil change with your regular oil (same weight- 10/30 10/40, etc) and get added lubrication and protection. Can make your own synthetic blend, just like they sell in the stores.

Oil Filter note- Avoid Fram filters like the plague! Many posts about it at above website. Purolator's are very good and the price is right.

Thanks for the post, OP. I'm in.

The scan of the manufacturer's rebate only includes the front. It says, "See back for details." Could you post a scan of the back of the rebate? I don't have a Pep Boys near me, so I can't get it from there.


Thanks,

Luke

I only have Advance Auto & Autozone in my local area, NOT Pepboys. But the scan form says "Original Offer Form" is required. Any suggestion?
