Well probably some marketing genius has to keep making an argument for being employed.

Oil next to food? The Safety person in me says "OMG!!!!"

For what it's worth, this is the new bottle and jug design, with the spinning camshaft-lookin'-thing:

Aww, now THAT is new. Thanks!

Have not seen it anywhere here.

I believe the starbursts have changed as well.

The previous starbursts did not say "resource conserving", but now they do on the new bottles.

Castrol still sucks though

Looks like that label is Walmart specific. I could be wrong though n

It isn't specific to Wal Mart.

 

[addyguy]

Haven't seen it yet, and probably won't for a while in Canada, if it comes here at all...

I love the 5 quart jug design.

I wish other companies would do this.

The graphic design overall is not specific to Walmart, but most of the 5-quart jugs sold at Walmart have the extra information at the bottom, trying to compel shoppers to return their used oil there.

Is it just me, or does that bottle make anyone else want to call their wife and have a little "afternoon delight"?

I think I need to up my meds.

I didn't realize the packaging was that new. It took me 2 years to go through my Mobil 1 supply and hadn't bought Castrol in a while. Here's the new GC bottle and 5w50.

Yup. I have spotted the new Castrol bottles in Meijer.

Question, but I thought 5w40 Edge was made in Belgium? I just picked up some and I noticed it is made in the US and does not say European Formula on the front. It carries all the euro specs of the Belgium marked oil.

It used to be some years back.

Now the 0w-40 is made in Belgium.

I saw the 5qt jugs at O'Reilly's today with the new labels. I like the older look better. The new one looks too sanitized. Hopefully if won't last long.

At the OTHER Walmart, (Middle St. in East Weymouth.)

Taken an hour ago.

They also had Mobil 1 TDT 5W-40 for $26.97 a 5 gallon jug.

 

[Flareside302]

Why does it matter?!? Really... Your gonna pour the oil in, then throw the bottle away...

I take it you mean 5 qt? I thought they only sold it in the 1 gallon jugs. That's like another qt for free. I might pick up some to try it for that price, especially since the Autozone deals haven't been quite as good lately and I already have 3+ years worth of filters.
