Green Earth Technologies is offering a 5-quart G-Oil Synthetic Motor Oil Bottle (5w-30) for $0 with this mail-in rebate [Exp 4/22]. Valid in-store at Walmart. Limit one per household; $26.00 maximum rebate value.
I got this rebate a while back. I used the "free" oil for my last oil change. I was just telling my brother that my service light is blinking telling me to change the oil. When I got home, I see that I will get another free oil change. Great! I just need a new filter. My Scion xB takes 4 quarts, and my Honda Ruckus takes one. What a deal.
Walmart... Is this oil from China? Should I trust it to protect my several thousand dollar engine just because it is free? Should I believe it is better for the earth because it has the word green in the name? Would I ever see the rebate? Will these questions in my head ever stop?
drmichiokaku: I don't think your Ruckus wants the same oil as your Scion. In general wet plate clutches don't like energy concerning or friction reduced motor oils. Rotella-T in 15W40 or 5W40 would be a much better choice for the Ruckus but a bad choice for the Scion.

I got the first rebate pretty fast; and no, the questions will never stop, they will keep coming faster and faster.

From Cyclepedia.com:
Honda recommends Pro Honda 4-stroke oil or equivalent 10W-30 with API classification SG or higher.
The Ruckus has a dry clutch.
From Mitchell on demand, www.ondemand5.com
The oil recommended for the 2005 Scion xB:
ILSAC multigrade Engine Oil, SAE 5W-30
These oil recommendations were cut and pasted from the websites listed.
@mikegrmi I got this deal a while back, and they did send me my rebate, but i do recall them mentioning on their products that it is made in the USA.
@suremango - Thanks for the info!
