Looks like the deal was too good to be true. When you go to site it now says...
"Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."

What year are your Subarus? EP has the better wear package in the oil.
ESP just has reduced zinc and phosphorus. It's not actually a better oil, and is only meant for newer cars (past couple of years).
Amazon would never let it get to that. They're truly excellent when it comes to returns (I've had numerous experiences with this, and they have all been superlative). I'd suggest you relax a little.
LOL I'm 100% relaxed, was just saying there is no point in being worried even if it is listed wrong or wrong item is shipped I'll get my money back so why stress? Never had any problems with Amazon...

Mobil 1 is no longer exclusively synthetic oil.So, i actually went to amazon and took a look. Looking only at 5W-30 since that's what the wrx and outback take.
There are 5:
21.16 = 1.76/qt- ACDelco 19287565 Mobil 1 5W-30 ESP Formula Engine Oil - 1 Quart, (Pack of 12)
19.48 = 3.25/qt - ACDelco 19287564 Mobil 1 5W-30 EP Engine Oil - 1 Quart, (Pack of 6)
18.61 = 3.10/qt - ACDelco 19287554 Mobil 1 5W-30 Engine Oil - 1 Quart, (Pack of 6)
31.48 = 7.87/qt - ACDelco 19210933 Mobil 1 5W-30 Synthetic Engine Oil - 1 Gallon
34.65 = ????.qt - ACDelco 19287557 Mobil 1 5W-30 Engine Oil
In this format, it's easy to see the diffs between them.
According to Mobil, all "Mobil 1" is synthetic oil.
EP is "Extended Performance", comes with a gold label.
ESP is "Emission System Protection", green label (duh).
I did some googling of the part #s - included in the product description - and the only real hits were nextag and shopzilla - shopping comparison sites and the only hits they returned were essentially the same amazon pages I started from.
So, what did I do? While on Mobil's site, I checked their FAQ on shelf-life - 5 years sealed, stored cool & dry. I bought a lot of the ESP. I'll resell it if I don't use it.
It's not really taking a chance either. If it's not Mobil 1, but simply Mobil Super, you complain to Amazon and they'll almost certainly refund your money and most likely, will allow you to keep the oil. I've had a dozen claims this year and every one was decided in my favor within hours and I haven't had to return a single item - they're almost falling over themselves to thank you for finding the problem and allowing them to fix it for you.
And if they cancel the order(s), no loss other than the time and heck, at this price, it's a better chance than a lottery ticket!
Yes they call it "advanced synthetic". But they would not have called the stuff they sell today synthetic oil 10 years ago. It's a TypeIII oil, which means it probably has some synthetic and some highly refined non-synthetic stock in it.
Mobil Delvac 1 (remember Delvac Super is not the same as Delvac 1) I believe is still full synthetic, and Mobil 1 Truck and SUV synthetic might still be full synthetic. However, since Mobil has taken the path of duping their customers, I've decided not to buy any of their products. I'm buying Amsoil at this point.

Mobil 1 is group III now? Between that and relatively high iron concentrations in my Blackstone reports, it may be time to satisfy my oil snobbery some other way. Pshaw.

Anyone with canceled orders willing to share their order date? I haven't gotten a cancelation yet and I ordered on 6/28.
I also ordered on 6/28, got cancellation today.

Well, they call it "advanced full synthetic" on the mobiloil.com website.
i've read about the misleading labelling but thought it was confied to the "partial synthetic" or "synthetic blend" stuff...
As fot my order: 6/28, still not cancelled. but prime is bumping my priority. We'll see how long it lasts...

I always try to swing by my local Autozone & O'Reily at least once a week. I have no idea why but every now and then they clearance out some oil... I've seen both regular and synthetic... usually people wipe the shelves out that same day so you got to be quick...
I've never really asked why they do it... It's not like sealed containers of oil goes bad sitting on their shelves... lol.
