Re: [Chrysler300] Cases of Mobil Oil

John and Club-
It is a sad state to think we have to check before leaving a store that
we are getting all of what we pay for, but true. Most automated systems have
a glitch now and them, missing a quart or it falls out before sealing, or
flat employee theft can occur as well. Yes, open the box and if someone asks
you what you are doing, tell them your experience. Look at cans in the
grocery store- look the same as they used to- but many are 11 ounces now
instead of the 12 ounces they used to be. Usually the same price, just less
product. Subtle but costly to us the consumer. Reminds me of GM's 350 engine
scam in the late 70's early 80's with Oldsmobile buyers. Yes your car still
has a 350 cid engine, but gee, it's a Chevy instead of the more costly to
produce Olds 350.... And we didn't tell you that or cut the price of the
car? That little shell game cost the general a few million after the law
suits. Remember- BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!

only to find 11 quarts of oil instead of 12. No wonder it was on sale! I
wouldn't normally write about this except for the fact that this is the
second time this has happened to me in about 6 months. The last time it was
20W50 oil. I know I'll look a bit strange in the store, but I'm going to
open the cases before I buy from now on.
