Went to Walmart to get some AA batteries.
Went to Automotive, they had 5 QT containers of Mobil 1 for $19.00!
I bought four, they had four maybe five left. Said normally $26.50.

May need to go buy the others.
Seemed like a helluva deal.

Check your local WW.

That's a screaming deal. The WalMart I go to (I call it "The UN" because there's so many nationalities there) is often out even at the regular price.

When I drive my dad north in May I usually stop and get a jug or two in Oregon since there's no sales tax there.

I'm a firm believer in the saying that the cheapest part on a BMW is the owner. Laughing

I haven't been able to find 15w-50 in a jug for about a year. Crying or Very sad I'll have to check my WW in the morning.

The Walmarts in my area no longer carry 15W-50 in any dosage, so I was checking around for decent prices with little luck. ($8/qt here)

While looking for something unrelated today, however, I went into an O'Reilly Auto Parts store. They didn't have what I went in for, but happened to see they had the quart bottles of Mobil 1 on sale for $4.99 each. I scooped up an armload.

I've lived in several parts of the country, and realize these guys are not everywhere...but if you have one nearby, you may want to check. I think they are the same company as another national chain, but cannot recall which.

Feels good to get a deal on the stuff without the Walmart karma hit.

15w-50 was discontinued in the large jugs for about a year now. the first time i did an oil change on my bike i used 15w-50 and noticed they didn't have much. they informed me that it was discontinued in the inventory and so they wouldn't be getting more in the jugs, but that the quarts were still going to be around. the extended life version has been totally discontinued.

Last oil purchase I did was Auto Zone 5 qt. Mobil 1 15w50 and Mobil 1 oil filter for 29.95. I'll do that again if Walmart doesn't have the gallon jug deal.

I was tod by the folks at Walmart that they the only reason there was no gallon containers 15-50w is because none were available from Mobil and that they would soon have the 5qt jug in stock. I got this info about 5 weeks ago. Long live Walmart!! Very Happy

Regards, Paul

Fleet Farm had a rebate which worked out to $6 per quart. You have to mail stuff in to get it. I think it might only be good till tomorrow.
