Exxon Mobile Mobil 1, ExxonMobil Oil Corporation Mobil1 plastic containers deteriorate after less than 2 years. Exxon Mobile is not interested to hear about it. Fairfax, VA Internet

I  bought  5  quarts  of  Mobil1  "Advanced full  synthetic  Motor Oil"  at  Walmart.  (5 quart  container).  I  didn't  use  it  for  about 2  years  and  kept  it  in  my  garage  cabinet  together  with  other  oil  containers.  After  about  2  years  I  saw  a  large  oil  puddle  at  the  bottom  of  the  cabinet:  It  was  the  Mobil1  container  which  had  developed  a crack  at  one  of  the  corners.  I  also  noticed  that  the  plastic  had  changed  its  color  from  silver  to  yellow.  Obviously  the  material  used  for  the  packaging  is  not  resistant  to  synthetic  oil.  

I  called  Exxon Mobil   and  they  asked  me  to  send  them  pictures.  After  they  received  the  pictures  they  asked  me  for  a  receipt  (of  course  I  don't  keep  each  single  Walmart  receipt  for  over  2  years...)  No  apology,  no  offer  to  replace  the  bad  container.   

These  containers  should  carry  a  warning  on  the  label  saying  that  the  oil  has  to  be  used  within  a  few  months.  Exxon Mobil  does  not  care  about  the  quality  of  the  products  or  its  customers.  I  will  never  ever  buy  Mobil  motor  oil  again !
