Default Mildly OT: 5-quart jugs of Mobil 1 at Garner (NC) Wally World

Haven't seen these on the shelves in a while, but I could be completely out of the loop. The Wal-Mart in Garner has all grades, $18.88 a jug.

They also have Pennzoil and Castrol GTX for $6.88 per. They may have had Syntec, but I didn't check closely.

Just thought your budgets might appreciate any help they could get

Definately a deal and I have only found them at Wal-Marts having looked at other stores. Since I run Mobil 1 in three cars and GTX two more, I bought 4 jugs of Mobil 1 and 2 of GTX. Lots of money in oil but you know you'll use it over the long term.

A few weeks prior, I checked the same Wal-Mart and they had none explaining that it was simply a periodic thing that sometimes W-M gets deals on it and sometimes not. If you see this deal, jump on it when you can.

I've been purchasing my Mobil 1 at Costco, which is much cheaper than my local parts stores.

Here in California (at costco) you can get a case of mobil one ( 6 individual quarts) for 22.83 + tax. Not too shabby, IMO.

I bought these before at walmart and went back and then they didn't have them. They are a deal when you can get them. I going to go check since I am due to change my oil. Thanks for the heads up.

Any chance they have 0w-40? I saw 5w-30 in my local one, but none of my weird weight.

Is there a 0-something else? I do recall seeing a zero weight. Grey label, no?

0w-40 is a black cap. The bottle is grey, like the rest of M1.

Looks like this in the quart:




Looks like I'm outta luck.

The other day I was in walmart and a guy was stocking up on the $18 M1.
I mean stocking up. He had a cart completely filled with nothing but the jugs. At least 35 of them.

35? Thats excessive... unless he works at a small shop and doesnt move enough oil to get it in the big drums from Mobil.

It's hard not to gawk at someone's overflowing jugs.
